Asean airlines may be allowed to operate unlimited flights to Delhi, other metros

New Delhi: The Indian Government could allow airlines from the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean) to initially operate unlimited flights between their capitals and New Delhi.
Eventually, the exemption could be extended to flights to cities including Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.
The acceptance of this proposal by the Indian Government will update the 2003 India-Asean open sky agreement that allows carriers to operate daily flights to various metros, including New Delhi. They are also allowed to operate unlimited flights to 18 tourist destinations including Kochi, Thiruvanathapuram, Kozhikode, Tiruchi, Port Blair and Visakhapatnam. Now, India is likely to follow China’s example in liberalising its air services agreement with the Asean, officials indicated.
