Need liberalised services agreement between UK and India: British Airways
British Airways needs a liberalised air services agreement between the United Kingdom and India so that it can operate more flights to Mumbai and Delhi, its chief executive officer (CEO) Sean Doyle said on Friday.
Moreover, he said that the current fares on India-UK flights are much higher after the pandemic because of high fuel costs and inflation, and they may come down as competition rises among the airlines.
India and the UK had in 2017 signed an “open sky” air services agreement under which there are no limits on flights between Indian cities (except Mumbai and Delhi) and the British cities. However, flights on the UK-Delhi and UK-Mumbai route still have certain limits.
