Mumbai: Stuttgart is gunning for direct international flights from India in a bid to boost its commercial and tourism ties with the country. Stuttgart Airport representatives, part of a larger delegation from the city that has been visiting Mumbai annually for the past few years now, met with Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines? officials respectively, initiating dialogue for starting direct flights to Stuttgart by 2008. Stuttgart airport is looking at the possibility of about five to seven flights per week for each of the two airlines. Interestingly, while Stuttgart receives flights from 35 countries worldwide, India could be the first Asian country to operate direct flights to the German city if the negotiations fructify. It could also well be one of Kingfisher’s first targets once it starts its now imminent international operations, as the current restriction of five years operation is likely to be amended. Andreas Ley, manager, traffic development and market research, Stuttgart Airport, told Express TravelWorld in an exclusive, “We are currently talking to Kingfisher and Jet Airways regarding operating direct flights from Mumbai and Bangalore to Stuttgart Airport. We receive 13,000 Indian travellers a year - figure that can grow much faster if there are direct flights available. Stuttgart hosts several key B2B conventions and exhibitions. We reckon we have a potential catchment of over 33,000 Indian passengers, which could be higher when the direct flights start. Read the rest of this entry »
