Top Arab carrier Emirates will bolster efforts to further increase its market share as it eyes 28 weekly flights flying between Dhaka and the Gulf business hub of Dubai, its new country head said Monday.
Satish Sethi, country manager of Emirates, also said the incoming air traffic to Dhaka is set to rise next year when Bangladesh hosts the ICC Cricket world cup.
"Currently we are operating 17 flights a week from Dhaka. My target is to take it to 28 flights a week", he said.
"I've been with the aviation industry for the last 14 years, of which nine years were spent with Emirates. Before Dhaka, I was stationed in Yemen as Sales Manager," Mr. Sethi told a press conference, his first since taking over the mantle in Dhaka.
"Dhaka will see increased incoming traffic next year with the biggest sport event of ICC Cricket World Cup-2011", the new area manager said.
