Indian budget carrier Air India Express will increase the number of flights connecting the UAE and India by doubling its daily flights from the UAE to Mumbai and Delhi.
Starting this summer, Air India Express will increase the number of weekly flights in the India UAE sector from the current 107 weekly flights to 146 flights per week, with twice-a-day service to Mumbai and New Delhi starting next month.
The carrier earlier faced protests over the cancellation of some flights to and from the Gulf.
K Shyam Sunder, Chief Executive Officer, Air India Express, said the carrier is trying to connect 12 Indian cities with four emirates in the UAE using six new leased Boeing 737 aircraft that will be added to the existing fleet.
In addition to starting twice daily services to Mumbai and New Delhi, the carrier will start four flights a week from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport to Calicut from later this month (March 28).
A formal inauguration of the Ras Al Khaimah-Calicut flight was held at the VIP Launch of Ras Al Khaimah airport.
As per the new summer schedule of the carrier, Dubai-Mumbai and Sharjah-Mumbai daily flights will begin April 7, 2016, utilising the leased aircraft from General Electric Capital Aviation Services, a US-based leasing company.
