Thiruvananthapuram: With the latest bilaterals now in force, Emirates is
operating 37 flights every week into Kerala, the highest among all
states in the country, said a top airline official.
Essa Sulaiman Ahmad, Emirates vice-president for India and Nepal, said the last renewal of bilaterals between the two countries was in 2008. After the new agreement this year, Emirates is operating 37 flights a week to the three Kerala airports. In all, Emirates operates 185 flights every week for the entire country.
"This is the highest that we fly into any single state in India. The total number of weekly seats into India that came into force in 2008 was 54,200 and with the recent renewal of the bi-laterals, the number will go up by 11,000 seats during the next one year," Ahmad told IANS.
"The rise would be spread over three schedules. This increased seats would be shared by Emirates and Fly Dubai," Ahmad added.
