Indian airlines are increasing their flights to Dubai this month, with plans to add more connections from several cities across India, according to industry officials.
The move follows a surge in demand for airline seats in December, fuelled by demand from holiday travellers from India to Dubai and festival and year-end travel by expat Indians from the emirate to their home states.
Industry sources said many of the Indian carriers have registered about 90 percent passenger load factor (PLF) last month, besides increased air fares in December – billed as the best ever monthly performance for the domestic carriers since the outbreak of the pandemic early last year.
“We will be increasing our number of flights to Dubai this month, though the overall number of flights to the UAE this month could be almost the same as last month. We will also be increasing the frequency of our flights to Dubai from some of the cities in India,” a senior Air India Express official told Arabian Business.
“We are already operating two flights a day to Dubai from cities like Kochi. We may start additional daily flights from some other cities also this month,” the official added.
