Visakhapatnam: Vizag is among the first few cities in India where we had expressed interest in launching flights from Dubai a few years ago. But, the Government of India had asked us to fly out of the airports from which flights were already operating to Dubai, says General Manager of Fly Dubai India Pran Satya Dasan.
“Vizag is now the key city in Andhra Pradesh and a natural hub for us as we have a large number of Indians working in Dubai not only from Visakhapatnam but also from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, East and West Godavari districts. Vizag International Airport would serve their needs when there are direct flights. Fly Dubai, which started off as a low-cost carrier, still offers a large number of economy seats though it has introduced Business Class.”
Aviation industry has a multiplier effect on business, tourism and consumer economy and would contribute to the growth of the city.
“We have pressure from the expatriate Andhra community to operate direct services to Vizag.”
