Mumbai: Air Arabia, an international airline from Sharjah, is seeking to operate flights to over 20 airports in India and has been lobbying for additional rights to expand its base.
The airline has fully utilised its seat allocations granted two years ago, and is at present flying to 13 airports in India with double daily flights to Delhi, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram.
“We have been seeking additional rights about twice a month from the Indian aviation authorities. There are so many other airports in India that we would like to fly to, and, hopefully, we would be allowed to,” said Adel Ali, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Air Arabia.
He said as the Indian government had not allowed additional seats, the airline had not yet finalised its Indian expansion plans.
