The flights will operate with a single class of service offered. The aircraft will be ferried back to Mumbai empty.
Air India already operates 19 weekly direct flights between Mumbai and Dubai, in addition to services to Dubai from Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Kochi, Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Goa.

It's great to see Air India expanding it's frequency to Dubai..but I have a question: why will the aircraft be ferried back to BOM rather than have a regular, scheduled flight? If this is a stupid question please forgive me, I'm not familiar with it.

Looking at the booked loads for those days, all the DXB-BOM flights are wide open (while BOM-DXB are ridiculously oversold). In a situation like that, you save a lot of costs by operating an empty ferry back rather than a virtually empty passenger flight.
