Article does not mention if the UK government is being asked to accept more political asylees from India as a result of this action.

If I interpret this article correctly, this means the leg between India and West Asia will be served by airlines based out of India. Maybe the best that can be done, but probably not as lucrative as seeking to create a hub for Indian carriers somewhere in West Asia.
