Emirates to expand in India once bilateral pact gets inked

Emirates airline Wednesday said it will be able to expand its network in India from the existing 10 cities to more, once bilateral agreements on seating capacity are signed with the Indian govt. “We have 10 points (cities) in India. We are trying to expand as much as we can. With the limited seat capacity we are very much restricted Wednesday to these 10 points. If the bilateral agreement goes through, we can gain seats and we can cover most of the points in India. Our objective is to cover as much as we can,” Ahmed Khoory, senior VP, commercial operations, West Asia and Indian Ocean, for Emirates said. He said currently the airlines is operating A380 aircraft to Mumbai only and once the bilateral agreement is signed, then Delhi and Hyderabad would also have the potential to operate such aircraft. <br/>
