Speaking at the IATA Annual General Meeting on Monday, Walsh praised India's proactive approach: "The aviation sector has been accorded much priority in India with investments by the government and airlines like Indigo and Air India," he noted, contrasting it with the cap of 32 million passengers at Dublin Airport. "Such artificial caps like in Dublin should not be enforced."
