Indian carriers looking more attractive to airports

As more countries recognise the growth potential of the Indian and Chinese markets, airports around the world are opening their doors to Indian carriers.
One country which is wooing them includes Copenhagen which has said it is willing to give Indian carriers five year discounts on landing and passenger charges if they increase tourist arrivals.
According to Hindu Business Line, Dallas Fort Worth is planning to give carriers from India the opportunity to tap into two sectors that reign supreme in Texas, the visiting friends and relatives and business sectors.
Even Australia is getting in on the act, with Brisbane airport introducing a ‘pay for numbers’ scheme to carriers, where they only pay for the numbers they carry rather than the weight of the aircraft.
Moscow is also keen, with a spokesman for Moscow International Airport saying that the time was right due to the increasing amount of Indian projects developing in Russia.
Currently, Air India Express is currently being considered to operate flights to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Company, according to Director Tammy Tan.
Jet Airways, Kingfisher and Air India are also some Indian carriers being considered on international routes.
