Firstly May Mr. Jagjivans sould rest in peace. Now to my point. His wife mentioned that her husband was suffering from Hypertension and had forgotten to take medication then how come their relatives are accusing the airport authorities of negligence. I have been travelling for a long time and have seen many international airports and Mumbai airport although is not all that shiny and flashy but it has got a lot of facilities that ease a passengers journey especially the flat seats in the departure lounge where all transit passengers or departing passengers can relax and have a small nap comfortably. There are international call booths, reasonably priced food stalls, i'm not sure about the toilets but it is similar to the one in Bahrain. it was an unfortunate incident and people must move on rather than crying foul.

Mumbai airport has improved a lot after being taken over by GVK. I have recently been to South Africa and Johannesburg airport is far more chaotic. Cape Town is about the size of Bangalore and small. As for Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi airport, there are lot of thefts out of check in baggage - as is common across the whole of Thailand where you have to guard your passport with your life. Heathrow has maximum baggage losses and New York airport is plain rude and unfriendly. So much for airports all over the world. The best in my experience are Dubai and Singapore. Riyadh is sprawling - the whole of Andheri West and East would fit into the Riyadh airport.

Your comments are positive and encouraging. Bombay airport has changed for the better. gone are the days when the airport was dirty and even drinking water was not available. Now we have one of the best airports in the world. Looks more spacious. Mumbai keep it up.
