if u have travelled thru cochin airport, you will know the benefits of not having AAI run airports. Cochin airport, a private venture is an eye opener to all of us subjected to AAI and their mis-management. Having worked as a service provider in Mumbai and Cochin airports, I know what AAI really is- callous, unprofessional, laggards, and most importantly a ' complain karna hai to karo, hum govt. employee hain, hamara kuch nahi hoga' attitude. DO we need these creeps at all? Let them go on strike...and lets get rid of them once and for all.
