Jun 01, 2017 (newstodate): Air India has high hopes for its coming new non-stop route between Delhi and Copenhagen, Denmark, starting from September 15, 2017.
According to the carrier's CEO, Ashwani Lohani, the carrier will start out with three weekly rotations, but frequency on the route will be increased to daily flights when the route has been settled.
Expectations from the Indian side of the route are also high as the Danish Embassy in Delhi is seeing an annual growth by 20 percent in number of visas for travels to Denmark from a base at 18,000 visas issued in 2015.
In the meantime, a debate is raging in India over the future of the carrier that has amassed a huge debts pile and is running at annual losses.
This has led to the recurrence of plans for the state to write-off the carrier's debts as one fundamental prerequisite to privatizing the now state-owned carrier by selling all stake to a strategic investor - if one can be found..
