In a memorandum submitted to Air India Chairman and Managing Director Pradeep Singh Kharola, the forum said a direct flight to Dubai would offer immense business potential to Air India, since it can cater to the sizeable ethnic population of this region working there. The Forum also sought elevating of the airport here to the 'Hub-and-Spoke' model as it would facilitate seamless travel for all passengers travelling to Europe and beyond, its chairman A Sakthivel said.
Also, with Delhi being the hub of Air India it is but relevant that Coimbatore is connected to it as an important spoke, he added.
