New Delhi: Gulf budget airline 'flydubai', which launched its flights to Delhi and two other cities last week, today said it was ready to operate from any other city which could be made available by the Indian government.
"We are ready to take any challenge... Any destination that is available for us, we can operate," 'flydubai' CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said here. However, all this would depend on the bilateral air services agreement between India and Dubai.
He said the state-owned airline planned to connect smaller cities in India with the Gulf region as "we believe in empowering people in smaller cities".
But for now, "we will focus on ramping up existing frequencies and increasing number of destinations (in India)", he added.
Besides Delhi, the Dubai-based airline now operates to six Indian cities including Lucknow, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Thiruvanthapuram. With the recent addition in Indian destinations, it has increased its weekly flights to India to 19 from nine earlier.
