New Delhi: The civil aviation ministry has allowed Indian carriers to increase the number of flights to destinations in the Middle East and South East Asia.
SpiceJet, which has huge international expansion plans, is the primary beneficiary of the ministry’s move.
The other airlines are IndiGo, which has got permissions to launch flights to Dubai, and connect Singapore from Kolkata and Chennai. These flights will be in lieu of flights from Delhi and Mumbai that IndiGo stopped because of aircraft limitations. IndiGo flights to Singapore from Delhi and Mumbai with Airbus 320s were not profitable for the airline.
Jet Airways too, has got permissions to launch a daily flight to Dubai from Kochi.
These permissions were given to enable Indian carriers to match international rivals in terms of utilisations of foreign flying rights out of India.
