India has enough room for multiple wide-body carriers to flourish: Emirates

Emirates, the Dubai-based airline, believes there is enough room for multiple wide-body aircraft operators to thrive in India, despite the recent 30-wide-body aircraft order by IndiGo. Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates, stated that India's international air travel market has significant potential, with a large population and a widespread Indian diaspora driving demand. Indian airlines have placed orders for a total of 100 wide-body aircraft since 2023. Emirates is the largest foreign player in the international air traffic market to and from India, operating around 10% of flights. The airline is open to partnerships in India and plans to optimize its operations rather than downsize capacity.
