Kochi currently operates 14 flights. Subramanian said Emirates Airline bookings from the state capital grew between 25-30 per cent since 2006, and the airline “did not want to be found wanting in seat capacity as and when the slowdown effect faded.” After the new flights are added, seating capacity every week from Thiruvananthapuram will increase from 2,200 to 3,300.
