Global Airlines eyeing opportunities in India and Pakistan
Global Airlines, a new US-UK-based airline, is eyeing
opportunities to expand its flight operations to India and Pakistan, according
to the CEO, James Asquith.
Asquith expressed his keen interest in exploring these
markets following the successful launch of the airline's inaugural flights. He
believes that India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh offer routes that have been
notably underserved.

The discussion primarily centered around Mr. Asquith's
recent LinkedIn post, where he highlighted the commencement of comprehensive
maintenance and preparation work on their Airbus A380 aircraft. This
"return to service work" is a crucial step for Global Airlines as
they work towards obtaining a vital Air Operator's Certificate (AOC).
India and Pakistan are already served by numerous UK
airlines, but Mr. Asquith's strategic focus appears to be on these regions,
aligning with his approach to the U.S. market.
Anticipation is building regarding updates from Global
Airlines' CEO about the readiness of their A380s for commercial operation and
the progress made in securing the AOC.

If all goes according to plan, the airline aims to
inaugurate its services in the middle of the next year, with initial routes
connecting London to New York and Los Angeles.
James Asquith, CEO of Global Airlines, shared his vision for
the company during an interview with City A.M. He noted that the corporate
travel landscape lacks a comprehensive package for travelers crossing the
Atlantic.

to enhance regional air connectivity
Asquith believes that prioritizing a premium experience,
offering perks, and implementing a robust loyalty program will be the key to
success in this market. He dismissed the notion that flight frequency alone is
the sole determinant for business travelers.
He remarked, "There are too many offerings at the
moment that don't provide the level of service that a premium route like London
to New York should offer corporate and business travelers. Too many incumbents
still focus on frequency alone."
