That was when AI was a govt. owned company. They didn't have to think about profits and were in huge losses every year. Even Hyd and Ahmedabad are not profitable enough for a direct flight to USA.

thread comedy ga vundhi. Delhi ki Air India inko flight vesthe that would be a good achievement.

WSJ also wrote that India lost at least two fighters. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/pakistans-diplomatic-victory-conceals-its-weakness-3f3c5469?mod=author_content_page_1_pos_1

I doubt it. Don't get your hopes high.

There is a physical reason, Delhi is the hub and not Mumbai. It is the distance to West. Most flights to India from US go to Europe and from Europe travel to India via Russia, Iran etc. Because Delhi is at a higher latitude, its distance is shorter from Europe. At ultra-long haul, each additional hour matters. The plane has to carry the extra hour fuel for 12+ hours which requires more fuel. When Pakistan restricts its airspace, then Mumbai may be closer. But it doesn't happen regularly.

Delhi has the scope to become an international hub if the government policies make it convenient for transiting passengers. Delhi has large O&D traffic, Indian transit traffic. It can connect people from South East Asian countries to Europe and Africa cheaply. In the future, Mumbai and Bangalore/Hyderabad can also become hubs for international connectivity. Someone compared with USA. It is not at all relevant. US domestic market is very huge. The top three airlines by revenue are from the US only. So for US airlines, ME3 airlines are a small concern but not a threat. Still, they routinely ask the US government to suspend 5th freedom rights for ME3. IMO, India has to build up its airlines. If the govt. let ME3 operate unlimited seats, Indian airlines will never get a chance to scale up. Now with Air India out of govt. control, give it 5 years.

India - Dubai bilateral has fixed number of seats per week (including both flydubai and Emirates). he max capacity reached long time ago. So for flydubai to come to VIjayawada, somewhere else service has to be reduced. Existing cities ni vadhili kotha cities try chestaru anukovatam ledhu. And central govt. does not want MiddleEast carriers to expand to new cities. So not that easy. CBN tried very hard last time. Best scenario is to try other MiddleEast carriers, who haven't exhausted their quotas.

This is a nuanced topic. Earlier when AI was under govt. control, it had subpar service and bad airplanes with broken interiors. Tata is trying to fix it, but it will take mid 2025 or end-2025 to fix those issues. Supply chain issues are prevent quick fixes. And, both AI/AIX under Tata's and Indigo want to grow as international airlines. Indian govt. forces all domestic airlines to allocate 10% seats to NE India. This is a big burden on them. Emirates, Qatar, Etihad (ME3) are funded by their respective governments. The first one is profitable but the last two may or may not be profitable and their governments pump a lot of money into them. So there is no level playing field. They also have the geographical advantage because longer flights from India to the USA are more expensive to operate due to the weight of extra fuel they have to carry. Under Manmohan govt. ME3 got a lot of flying rights into many airports in India. This is not a bad policy per se, because it provides the best experience for the Indian consumer. At that time trade liberalization was in vogue and our airlines were very small. In return, they offer very little to Indian airlines. Dubai doesn't give our airlines slots in their main airport and only asks them to use their secondary airport. Prime time slots in ME3 airports are all used only by their airlines. Even US airlines complain a lot about ME3. But because the US domestic market is such a big one, for US airlines ME3 market is a small bucket. Most of the passengers on ME3 flights are from India. So ME3 take a big chunk of India market. If India gives free ride to ME3 and lets them fly to all airports, it won't be possible for AI and Indigo to go beyond their current status. So India is not letting them fly more flights to India. So don't expect direct flights to Dubai from AP anytime soon. India also needs to step up its game and make the passenger experience world-class in its airports like Delhi and Bombay. So passengers won't feel a difference if they do their transfer in Delhi or Dubai. Then Delhi and Bombay can serve Europe-SE Asia traffic and help Indian airlines scale up. It also needs to scrap the 10% seats to NE India policy and come up with Udan like scheme.

Not a good idea. It will start building anti. As far as Amaravathi concerned, do it silently. Better highlight the works done in the rest of the state.

This is a very valid point. Kaani contractor change ayithe delays ekkuva ga vuntayi. Polavaram level projects execution chala complicated ga untundhi due to too many variables that can go wrong. Edo kalavalu tavvinattu, roads vesinattu kadhu. Kotha contractor anni ready chesukoni, niggling issues ni sort chesukone patiki chala time paduthundhi. Plus deeniki todhu PPA approve cheyyali prathidhi. Plus vellu head works and power project kalipi tendering ki velthunnaru. Dentho center kelukudu inka ekkuva vunthundhi. Ee issue antha twaraga solve avvadhu. Ee delays moolamga contractors estimate cheskunna cost kante actual cost ekkuva vuntundhi. My guesstimate: 5 years lo complete avvatam chala kashtam.
