Direct flights between London and Ahmedabad
Merul P.
started this petition to
Sri Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat
- There are more Gujaratis living in UK and travelling abroad than any other Indian community, and this figure is increasing.
- About 40% of India bound passengers from UK are Gujaratis.
- India is the 2nd largest investor into United Kingdom, according to British Government figures. Many of these Indian companies are either owned, controlled, or significantly staffed by Gujaratis.
- The UK is the Second Largest investor in India, and the largest cumulative investor in Gujarat.
- Nearly 35% of all visas issued by British High Commissions in India are to Gujaratis.
- Currently, air passengers travelling between the UK and Gujarat are required to change planes either at Mumbai, Delhi or somewhere in the Gulf countries. This inevitably leads to considerable inconvenience, delay and expense – particularly for families with young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and the increasing number of business travellers.
- We believe that the introduction of direct flights will not only be of benefit to the Gujarati diaspora, but also prove commercially successfully for all airlines.
- Readers of Gujarat Samachar and Asian Voice in the UK, and members of the National Congress of Gujarati Organisations have strongly voiced their continued demand for direct flights between London Heathrow and Ahmedabad.
