The head of Emirates said Indian airlines would lose financially as a result of traffic quotas between India and the United Arab Emirates, which the Dubai carrier believes should be increased.
The United Arab Emirates has asked India's government to approve 50,000 extra seats between the UAE and India, but India's civil aviation ministerEmirates airline President Tim Clark told the CAPA India Aviation Summit that he saw scope for "at least double" the weekly limit of 65,000 seats and that he regretted India's position, revealed in a Reuters interview earlier on Tuesday.
"We are hoping that the government will recognise the power of what we're talking about and that the Indian carriers will also, including Air India, say 'this is good for us," Clark said on the sidelines of the CAPA India conference.
