IA to boost seat capacity by 25 pc

State-owned Indian Airlines (IA) plans to stack up its capacity in a major way and expects to add another 10,000 seats of travel per day by December 2007 over the current 42,000 seats, a nearly 25 per cent increase in its passenger capacity.
Besides, the airline is exploring new international markets such as South Africa, Australia, China and the United Kingdom and has plans to start flights to some cities in these countries by the winter of 2007.
An IA spokesman told Hindustan Times that the airline, however, does not intend to increase the number of destinations. It plans to expand by boosting the frequency of flights in its existing 54 destinations and also by providing more connections between them.
