Air India to open base in Dubai
Air India will open an engineering base in Dubai and put five aircraft on standby here to solve emergency technical snags as part of the exhaustive efforts to resolve the issues plaguing the airline's operations in the Gulf sector.
The emergence of Dubai as a hub for the global aviation industry will pose a serious threat to Indian airports and airlines, which are struggling with underdeveloped infrastructure and lack of incentives to attract international airlines to use the nation's airports.
