Dubai: Officials of the two Indian carriers, Air-India and Indian, yesterday said they would run additional flights for amnesty-seekers in September, if the situation demands.
Talking to Khaleej Times, senior officials of both the airlines said discussions were on with Indian consulate officials regarding concessional fares, too.
Abhay Pathak, regional manager of Indian, said, “We had meetings with Indian consulate officials. Our calculation says that the crowd would come in from September.”
Air India officials, too, stated that the need of additional flights would be dealt with according to the situation. As Jayshree Ramachandran, AI regional manager, Dubai and the Northern Emirates, said, “Right now there are no amnesty-seekers coming in. After July, there would be plenty of capacity in the flights.
