New Delhi: The Prime Minister's Office had raised concerns over the bilateral air services agreement (ASA) signed between India and Abu Dhabi earlier this year, raising the number of flights from 13,700 to 50,000 each week.
The PMO had raised concerns over several issues, including reduction of direct long-haul traffic from India, lesser consolidation of any airport in India and a "negative impact on any hub creation in India," according to a note released by PMO in response to an RTI application filed by one Harish Kumar of Delhi.
It had also pointed towards the loss of business to Middle Eastern hubs and lesser stimulation of domestic traffic, among other things, the note said.
