Dubai: Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar al-Baker said the airline’s expansion into India will depend on whether the government will further open the nation’s skies after elections due by May.
In January, India’s aviation ministry lifted a ban on Airbus A380 from entering the country and allowed airlines to fly the double-decker planes to four airports, including New Delhi and Mumbai. Authorities also approved a deal for Etihad Airways to purchase a 24% stake in Jet Airways India as the country eased airline ownership rules last year.
