National carriers Air-India and Qatar Airways are set to boost their ties following a high-level agreement reached between India and Qatar here recently.
“Obviously, there will be an increase in capacity in the sector, which is now serviced by Qatar Airways and Air-India. At least one more Indian destination is on the cards for a direct service from and to Doha. There will be many more,” Indian Ambassador Deepa Gopalan Wadhwa said.
The high-level Indian delegation which visited Doha last week comprised the country’s civil aviation secretary Madhavan Nambiar and Air-India chairman and managing director Arvind Jadhav.
They had met senior Qatar’s Civil Aviation Authority and Qatar Airways officials.
Thousands of Indians living in the country and Qataris who visit India often will benefit from the two national carriers strengthening their ties.
She said the two countries had also agreed to co-operate on tourism. “There is a huge potential for boosting bilateral tourism,” Wadhwa said.
