Emirates Airline sees 20% growth in India

Hyderabad: Emirates Airline is expecting a 15 to 20 per cent rise in the number of customers from India in fiscal 2011. The company operates 184 weekly flights from ten Indian destinations to Dubai.
“India has bounced back strongly from the effects of the global economic crisis. Even last year, we saw robust numbers from our Indian operation,” Orhan Abbas, vice president – India & Nepal, Emirates Airline, said. “The trend should only get stronger this year.”
India is the fastest growing market for the UAE-based airline.
The West Asia and Indian Ocean region, which includes India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mauritius and Seychelles, accounts for more than 12 per cent of the company’s revenue.
Abbas believes corporate travel is returning to its earlier levels after a poor FY 10.
