Japan's JAL to fly daily to New Delhi

Japan Airlines will start flying daily between Tokyo and New Delhi to meet strong business demand, the airline said Friday. JAL currently operates four flights per week on the route, offering business and economy class cabins, the airline said. "As business passenger demand on this route has been particularly strong, JAL has decided to increase flight frequently further," it said in a statement. The daily service will start from October 28, it said. Japan has been trying to build closer political and economic relations with India, in part to counter frequent rifts with China, although Japan's trade with China still far surpasses its investment in South Asia. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will visit India next month along with a commercial delegation headed by Fujio Mitarai, chairman of the influential Japan Business Federation. Trade Minister Akira Amari recently visited India and announced an initiative to help develop the South Asian country's infrastructure.
