Emirates expands India coverage

Emirates will add 31 weekly flights to its existing service in India between now and February 2009. The expansion will be implemented in a phased manner and key cities – Mumbai and New Delhi – will be the main beneficiaries. Important commercial hubs including Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi will also be served with additional frequencies. The flights have been timed to provide more consistent schedules and seamless connections to onward points in Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Middle East, a spokesman said.
