UAE-India airfares fall nearly 30%; July return flights start from Dh1,029

The significant drop in airfares between the UAE and India presents a strategic opportunity for procurement professionals to conduct factory audits and supplier site visits. India remains a major hub for industrial manufacturing and spare parts production. Lower travel costs allow procurement teams to increase face-to-face quality control inspections and negotiate equipment contracts directly with Indian manufacturers during the month of July.

This trend also facilitates more frequent technical training for engineering staff at OEM facilities in India. Procurement managers should capitalize on these reduced costs to strengthen supplier relationships and oversee the fabrication of custom industrial equipment. Regular site visits are a proven method to reduce lead times and ensure that machinery meets the specific technical standards required in the Middle East.
