The station manager of Air India, Mr Anil Kaul told The Navhind Times that the flow of air traffic to Dubai has increased considerably and that Air India decided to press daily service to that Gulf destination to meet growing demand. The Air Indian had initially started service to Dubai from Goa by operating two flights per week but chose to increase it to three flights subsequently. Seeing potential in the growth of air traffic to the region the flight schedule was increased to four. In October the Air India raised the number to flight from Goa to Dubai to five and was operating flights on all days except Wednesdays and Fridays. However, taking into consideration the huge growth in the sector it decided to raise the flight to seven per week, operating one flight a day all the seven days of the week from January 14.
