News: British Airways to expand India operations
(ACERC 29/03/2006) London - As foreign carriers like Malaysia Airlines close shop in Kolkata, British Airways plans to woo passengers by providing three weekly flights to Heathrow London from Kolkata and a soon to be introduced online boarding pass facility. This was announced at a press meet by company delegates.
The airline has plans of operating five flights a week from Chennai and six flights a week from Bangalore from May 4, 2006. Double-daily flights would be introduced on the Delhi-London route from April 8, 2006, said Charles Carneiro, Marketing Manager, South Asia. The total number of flights operating from five cities in India would also be increased to 42 from April this year.
The flights from Kolkata had good passenger volumes. However, flights from Bangalore always ran to full capacity. 80 per cent of the business class passengers from Bangalore were repeat flyers.
