    DAC has a good demand for both Pax and Cargo

    They must deploy their Q400’s to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Trichy, Coimbatore, Madurai etc.

    Any idea when they would receive these aircraft?

      I wonder why you're saying Eithad will beat AirArabia Abu Dhabi? AirArabia Abu Dhabi also managed by Etihad if i am not mistaken.

        Could Fitsair be able to compete with SpiceJet (6x) and SriLankan (7x) on the CMB-IXM route?

        Fitsair resumed MLE flight on the 03-Aug and planning to resume MAA on the 24-Aug. I believe 4R-EXQ is return to service on the 24-Aug and support resumption of flights to MAA.

        Fitsair cancelled RML-BTC Daily flight since Cinnemon air started CMB-BTC Daily flight but i can see Fitsair's Cessna fliying RML-JAF.

        Any update on hiring type rated captains for flying Q400?

                      Nice to see! But I wonder if UL have sufficient fleet for JED expansion?

                      Which aircraft registration is due to fly JED?

                            This sector should’ve been re-started during the Hajj Season

                            Presently there is a huge void for Hajj and Umrah Pax as there are no direct flights or cheaper connecting flights to KSA form LK due to SV as well as KU not operating to CMB

                            UL was supposed to add a new A330 to the feet in the upcoming months so I suppose that will be used to JED and beyond​​
