DUBAI (NNN-Bernama) -- Air India plans to begin operations to 18 new destinations this summer, of which three will be in the Middle East, a senior airline official has said.
The new routes planned to the Gulf include a flight connecting Manama (Bahrain) and Dammam to New Delhi, while a direct flight from Dubai will connect Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, said Deepak Barara, Executive Director of Air India, reported Press Trust of India on Thursday.
According to him, the recently cancelled Salalah-Thiruvananthapuram flight will also resume shortly.
The airline currently operates 21 flights a week from the Gulf countries to India.
There has been an overall improvement in the airline’s bottom line, with a near-double digit growth in net profit (9.89 per cent) and a 20 per cent growth in bilateral air traffic flow between India and the UAE, Barara was quoted as saying by Emirates 24/7.
He said A321 carriers will be deployed to some Kerala airports. -- NNN-BERNAMA
