India agreed with Saudi Arabia to increase the capacity by 8000 seats per week from IATA season when Indian carrier\u2019s utilization reaches 80%. This was in response to the needs of increasing traffic between the two countries where Indian carriers have been utilising open sky in Damman to mount more flights than the Saudi Arabian side.<\/p>\n
