The Indian government’s policy to not grant any new flying rights to foreign nations within 5,000 km radius of the country till Indian carriers utilise at least 80% of the existing quota seems to have paid off with Indian carriers exhausting their quota with key nations.
According to updated data, utilisation by Indian carriers has crossed the mandatory 80% on routes to Doha and Singapore, where they had lagged for quite a long time.
“The utilisation on these routes has increased primarily on the back of IndiGo adding flights to these destinations. With the utilisation crossing 80%, these routes have become eligible for negotiations under the new rules,” a senior aviation ministry official said on condition of anonymity.
The official added that utilisation on routes to Dubai and Sharjah are already above 80% and utilisation between India and Kuwait is set to cross the 80% mark by the end of this summer schedule that ends in October.
