00:00I must say, I mean, when it comes to our number on the primary economy and what we've been
00:08achieved so far, it's beyond our expectations. So this is doing so well. And we will continue
00:16seeing it on different routes within Emirates as more of the aircraft as well with that.

00:50does Emirates have such plans? No, not at the moment.

01:32I can say to India, we don't have any extra seats as we speak. So it means we're still
01:41in the same quota that we had before. So we hope that there is a seat to be given.
01:51Our new bilateral say that will be good for the market.
