Air India Express to offer online UAE visa service

Dubai — Air India Express, the low-cost arm of India’s national carrier Air India, is set to offer online UAE visa service, the airline’s top officials said in Dubai on Sunday.

Air India Express (AIE) CEO K. Shyam Sundar announced at a Press conference that the airline was in the process of developing the online UAE visa service facility.

Speaking to Khaleej Times later, he said the service is expected to be launched by March 31.

Timed just ahead of summer vacations in Indian schools, the launch of the service is likely to offer a major boost to the airline’s business on the India-UAE sector, where it faces tough competition.

“It will be a great facilitation for people residing here to call their friends and relatives here for short visits,” said Sundar.

“It will even benefit holidaymakers from India to make short visits to Dubai, Abu Dhabi etc,” he said.
