Mumbai: Virgin Atlantic Airways is eyeing a bigger pie of the lucrative India-US market, Craig Kreeger, its CEO said yesterday, as per a Business Standard report. He ruled out investment in an Indian carrier, saying Virgin Atlantic was in talks with global airlines for code-sharing on its routes within the UK. “We are seeing growth in the India-US market. The combination of our excellent timing and our products and services is working well for us,” Kreeger said.
The airline also plans to scale up its corporate business in India. “Last year, we entered the Mumbai market with a different approach. We took a valuable asset, a peak time landing slot in London. We felt this market needed connectivity to the US, Manchester and Scotland. From both directions, we are able to offer greater connections. We are actively involved in expanding corporate sales,” Kreeger said.
