Emirates VP meets Telangana CM, signals A380 flights for Hyderabad

Mohammed Sarhan, vice president (India) of Emirates, met Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday, on the occasion of the completion of 25 years of the airline’s operations in Hyderabad.

During the meeting, Sarhan informed the chief minister of Emirates’ willingness to launch Airbus A380 services in the city. Revanth Reddy welcomed the development and requested an increase in Emirates’ overall flight services to Hyderabad.

The chief minister also flagged the two new airports coming up in the state, at Warangal and Adilabad, and asked Emirates to extend its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations to those locations. He assured the airline that the state government would provide all necessary facilities for flight operations.

Hyderabad has steadily grown as an international aviation gateway over the past 25 years, and Emirates’ plan for A380 services would add to that trajectory.
