Per last agreement (2017) this is what India-UK carriers are entitled
LHR - DEL/BOM (each country can fly 56 flights per week)
LHR - BLR/HYD (each country can fly 14 flights per week)
LHR - MAA/CCU (unlimited)
All other cities in India and UK (non LHR) have unlimited access
Are AF and KL limited in rights/access into India? For example, someone above said HYD and MAA have caps for British carriers? Perhaps using unused British carrier rights - e.g. which someone above said existed at MAA - through VS, may help the JV to grow? Yes, KL have almost maxed out their allott...
