New Delhi: India has emerged as the largest market served from Dubai with 7.34 million passengers passing through it in 2012, a figure which is expected to touch 8.3 million this year.
The hike in Indian passengers travelling to or through Dubai International airport has been caused by the fact that seven Indian and Dubai airlines operated to and from 20 Indian cities, which have a total of 185 flights every week, Dubai Airports' media relations manager Zaigham Ali said.
He said the number of Indian air travellers was expected to rise by 13.3 per cent in 2013 to 8.3 million, up from 7.34 million last year. "India is an important market absolutely and it will continue to grow even with status quo" in the bilateral air traffic rights between the two countries.
