Call for India’s aviation market growth to be matched with capacity

Indian aviation market’s pace of growth needs to be matched with capacity, and increased competition will provide more choices for consumers, said Emirates Airline Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim on the sidelines of the recent IATA Annual General Meeting in Dubai. He pitched for increased bilateral flying rights between Dubai and India. He said more airlines opening up and ordering wide-body planes for long-haul operations in India are good aspects that will create more options. He emphasised that India, with a population of close to 1.5 billion, is seeing growing international travel demand that needs to be coped with more capacity. According to him, a single airline cannot cover the world and stressed the need for partnerships and collaborations, as per a report.
