Mumbai: After the Gulf carriers, South-East Asian airlines are also looking to increase bilateral air traffic rights in the wake of the Civil Aviation Ministry’s proposal to enhance air capacity between India and Abu Dhabi to 53,000 seats a week following the Jet-Etihad deal.
While Emirates and Qatar Airways have expressed their keenness on revising air capacity into India, Malaysia Airlines, too, said that their demand for increase of bilateral air traffic rights was pending for the past one year.
“We have used up all our bilateral seats. In fact, we have been asking to increase air capacity to India from the past one year,” Germal Singh Khera, Head, Government and International Affairs, Malaysia Airlines, told Business Line on the sidelines of the 69th annual general meeting of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) held in Cape Town recently.
