Jet also has been given additional rights for flights Mumbai-Kuala Lumpur, Bangalore-Bangkok, Delhi-Bangkok, Mumbai-Abu Dhabi, Mumbai-Dubai, Mumbai-Male and Thiruvananthapuram-Sharjah.

Another carrier, SpiceJet, will now be able to fly to Colombo from Mumbai and add flights on the Chennai-Colombo route, while Kingfisher can fly to the Sri Lankan capital from Mumbai and Trichy.
