Ashwini Phadnis

New Delhi , Jan. 10

India and Singapore have agreed to increase the number of seats being offered by their designated airlines in a phased manner till winter 2009.

The designated airlines of Singapore will now be allowed to operate regular flights to Coimbatore, there by increasing its footprint here. This was firmed up at the conclusion of bilateral air services agreement between India and Singapore here late on Tuesday night.

The agreement not only permits airlines from Singapore to increase the current number of flights that they operate to some cities here but also allows similar freedom to airlines from India.

In August 2005, when the last round of air services between India and Singapore were successfully exchanged airlines from Singapore were allowed to increase frequency to Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

At present, Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary Silk Air operate regular flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad Kochi among others.

Air India, Air India Express, Indian, Air Sahara and Jet Airways operate regular flights from various points within the country to Singapore, while Singapore Airlines operates regular flights to India.
