India limits Etihad to 3,300 passengers a week

  • United Arab Emirates: Sunday, April 28 - 2013 at 03:34

The Indian civil aviation ministry has said despite the recently signed agreement with the UAE that has almost quadrupled the bilateral entitlements with Abu Dhabi, from 13,300 to 49,970 seats a week, a limit was placed on the number of flights airlines from the emirate can operate from Indian cities, to prevent revenue losses for airport operators, the Business Standard has reported. Under the new deal, Etihad can fly 3,300 passengers a week out of Delhi and Mumbai, subject to a frequency of two flights a day. "We have made provisions to address the concerns of airlines and airport operators in India," said a ministry official. "The cap on frequency is to ensure they do not operate smaller aircraft and save on landing charge, thus leading to losses for our airport operators," said the official.
