Gulf carrier Oman Air Tuesday said it is in discussions with the Indian government for increasing the weekly seat entitlement to enable expansion of its services in the rapidly growing aviation market.
The Oman's flagship carrier, which has completed 25 years into the business, currently flies to 11 Indian destinations from its hub in Muscat, operating 27,300 flights per week.
"We are working with the Indian government to give us more (seats). We are in discussions with the Indian government and are very positive about getting additional weekly seats," Oman Air chief executive officer Abdulaziz Al Raisi told reporters here.
He said that Oman has "very strong" relations with India and it is happy with the current seat entitlement under the air services agreement between the two countries, adding, "But, like any other airline, we would like to operate more seats as for us India is a main market."
