Sir Richard Branson said: "We will launch our new three times a week service to and from Mumbai from 1 February (subject to Indian Government approval under their Open Skies deal). This simply isn't enough - BA utterly dominates, carrying 75% of First and Business class passengers flying directly between the UK and India, and it needs competition on Mumbai on a daily basis from a world-class long haul airline with world-class products and services."
How arrogant - bmi is a world-class airline too, and between VS and BD there will be daily competition for BA. If VS are indeed appealing the Mumbai decision as suggested here, then I sincerely hope that the CAA say to Virgin that if they can't operate viably three days a week then they'll give all seven Mumbai frequencies to BMI.
