”As a frequent traveler between Delhi and Edinburgh for business meetings, the current indirect flights are a nightmare. The layovers are long and unpredictable, causing me to miss meetings or arrive exhausted. A direct flight would be a game-changer, saving me valuable time and making my business trips significantly more efficient..”
- Rajiv, Business Consultant
”My family lives in Mumbai, and visiting them with my children currently involves a grueling journey with multiple layovers. It takes forever and is incredibly stressful for the kids. Direct flights between India and Scotland would make these family visits so much easier and allow us to spend more quality time together.”

”As a homemaker, facing a family emergency back in India while being pregnant here in Scotland was incredibly stressful. The long layovers and additional travel time due to connecting flights were a huge physical strain with limited comfortable seating options. Direct flights would have allowed me to reach my family much faster and with less physical discomfort"
