Mumbai: Foreign carriers are bringing a higher number of business class
seats in their flights on India on growing demand as positive sentiment
returns to the country's economy. German flag carrier and Europe's
biggest airline Lufthansa has brought in its new Boeing 747-800 on the
Mumbai-Frankfurt route on which it currently operates the 747-400. That
will increase the number of business class seats to 80 from 66, making
it the foreign carrier offering the most seats in this class to India.
The total capacity per flight increases 10% to 386 seats.
"Our entire upper deck and a part of the lower deck will have business class seats," Wolfgang Will, director, south Asia for the carrier told ET in a recent interview.
