New Delhi: If the government agrees to a proposal from the Dubai civil aviation authority to enhance bilateral passenger capacity between Dubai and India by an additional 50,000 seats per week in each direction and for additional points of call at Amritsar, Pune, Jaipur and Goa in India to operate, Indian carriers including the state-run Air India will suffer huge losses.
This was pointed out by CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta, MP, to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in a letter on Saturday.
Dubai authorities have also sought permission to deploy Airbus A380 on routes to India.
While the civil aviation ministry has sought the comments of Air India on the contentious issues last week, Dasgupta urged the PM to ensure that the government does not accede to Dubai civil aviation authority's request as it would lead to huge losses to Indian carriers.
