Jet Airways’ decision to suspend operations in the face of a cash crunch in April is affecting the travel plans back home of Indians based in Qatar. With summer holidays around the corner, Qatar Aiways has requested Indian authorities to increase the number of seats between Doha and India to compensate for the fall in seating capacity.
The airline sought additional seats on high volume routes connecting Doha and Indian cities such as Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore on a temporary basis and without formal changes to the current weekly seat capacity entitlement established under the 2009 Qatar-India bilateral aviation framework.
