New UK-India routes:

From inside VS it is being admited that they are very dissapointed with not getting a daily service to mumbai- the reason why loads to delhi (under ai codeshare) were so low was beacuse the 3 times week service wasnt appealing to J pax who want a daily service! Now they get DEL daily thus getting more J pax and they have the same problem with Mumbai. It will be interesting to see if VS go into a codeshare with BD on the route, after all BD cant operate the route due to a shortage of a/c. VS can with the arrival of 2 moire 346's in Feb/April.


India Domestic:

SRB (Richard Branson btw) want to launch the airline using air deccan but of course was memoribly quoted as saying he wld never buy an airline after the mess up with the whole virgin express venture. He wants to do a Virgin Blue in India- a super idea. Like in Oz he will also launch Virgin Moblie India at the same time thus pushing the virgin brand in an untapped market!!! Super idea really!

So how long before Virgin China!!!!!
