Manchester-India flights may return

Air India is looking seriously at resuming direct flights to Manchester, it emerged today.
Mr KD Row, regional head of Air India for the UK and Ireland was speaking in Manchester as part of an Indian business delegation organised by inward investment agency MIDAS.
He said: "We were operating here, but withdrew for reasons of our own. We've commissioned a feasibility study.
"We've not set a deadline for this, but we already operate 10 flights a week out of Birmingham so we're looking at regional hubs. We have commissioned 120 new aircraft and as they enter our fleet, we can look at new routes."
The Indian delegation, which included representatives from software engineering giant Aztecsoft, business consultancy Hexaware, engineer HCL Technologies and the ICICI Bank, said they had been "highly impressed" with Manchester as a business location.
