Both roads to Hyderabad and Bengaluru airports (new) have good wide roads. The writer has not travelled at all to the two new airports at all. The real reason of course was loss of jobs and not the condition of roads. This is a ridiculous article.
Most airport workers in Bengaluru and Hyderabad are Tamil workers. They watch Tamil channels on these airports, even while the travellers want to watch either Telugu or Kannada channels. Why cant the airports make sure that the local people get preference to jobs in airports, rather than let local agitations take place first and then do some firefighting. People feel bad when jobs are taken away. This is natural. This is the main reason, even in Mumbai, why cant governments allow local people to get preference or even quote in govt/semi-govt jobs. Local people just cant sit and watch their livelihood being snatched away by outsiders. They WILL agitate.

I think its because more outsiders can understand Tamil better than Kannada and Telugu. Moreoever in airports the local people are always less, while the outsiders who travel are more, so its convenient for them.
Just suppose that the plan for BIA was made without the requirement of closing HAL. What sort of plan would that be? How big would BIA be? How would it grow over the years? How would traffic be shared? How would the traffic be regulated? How would the charges be regulated? Who would ensure that both airports co-existed for the long haul instead of one competitively trying to put the other out of business? Once you figure out these things, how would you convince the civil aviation ministry to switch to this paradigm for new airports in places like Goa, Pune, Agra etc? This is the million dollar question for India now after the BIA and HIA fiascos.
Choose the FALSE one out: 1.Bangalore is a breeding ground for stray dogs 2.Bangalore is now called Bengaluru 3.Bangalore's roads are completely not planned 4.Bangalore has India's most unpredictable and unstable government for the past decade 5.Bangalore is just a hype which actually was famous for cold weather 6.Bangalore has the highest percentage of alcoholic drinkers in India 7.Travel time from Bangalore's old International airport to the new one takes atmost two hours.
Ans. 7 is False. Travel time could extend upto 3 or even 4 hours because of the ill-managed traffic and ill-planned roads.
India has seen only the tip of the Aviation tavel boom, Cities like Bangalore which have more than 10 Million population require 2 airports in any international standards.
As usual the writer is lobbying for the interests of the new airport management, his crocodile tears for the passengers is juts an eye wash.
Choose the FALSE one out: a.Orissa is famous for Turtles b.Bangalore is famous for Stray dogs c.Chennai is famous for Crocodiles d.Bengal is famous for Deer
let there be competition amongst air ports. Then customer will benefit and efficiency will increase. Dont create monopoly. There should not be any restrictive clause in any agreement in not allowing new air ports or to close existing air ports. In other countries, such as USA, there are many air ports within short distance and air port managements are competing to woo air lines as well as passengers with additional facilities at competitive rates. Investing in new air port is a business and they should face competition like any other business.Restrictive clauses should be removed from any agreement. Govt. should encourage healthy competition and should not allow monopoly or cartelisation/syndication.
Dear SIr, You wrote such a article, seems u r full support to the planner of airport. 1.Distance is immaterial to you 2.UDF is also doesnt bother you 3.Travelling time doesnt affect you 4.Passengers any other problem you are not bothered.
By the way can you please let me know why these airports built ?? if passengers face problem ?? is it for show or just to pat ourselves ???
I could not understand your article bottom line at all
