Emirates opening up India to Kenyan fliers

Coastweek: Dubai based Emirates Airlines plans to increase the frequency of its flights to eight Indian cities from 71 to 85 a week in a bid to strengthen its Indian operations.
The airline announced that it would introduce a third-daily service to Mumbai, second-daily service to Chennai and a further three additional flights each to Cochin and Hyderabad beginning October this year.
"Customer demand for our services has been steadily building up and we are very pleased to offer greater capacity through frequency increases and aircraft upgrades.
"With the introduction of the third- and second-daily services to Mumbai and Chennai respectively, our schedules will be more consistent and our passengers will have greater flexibility in planning their journeys," said Nabil Sultan, Emirates' senior vice-president commercial operations, West Asia and Indian Ocean.
The additional frequencies will be operated with Emirates' modern, wide-bodied A330-200 and Boeing 777 aircraft in two- and three-class configurations.
