India can be a hub connecting Africa and Middle East for foreign airlines
Foreign airlines have always seen India as a market that feeds their hubs, but that seems to be changing with key foreign carriers from Asia Pacific seeing India becoming an aviation hub, which can be used to connect Africa and the Middle East from their part of the world.
Senior executives from Japan Airlines and Thai Airways said they see the potential of India becoming a hub but it may take some time for this to become a reality.
“India has the potential, I believe so. It is possible when one looks at connections towards the Middle East and Africa. While it is still early for a hub to be established, I think it is possible in the future," Shimizu Shinichiro, executive vice president, Japan Airlines, told Mint.
