An unwelcome adventure
Article Abstract:
Air travel in India is still characterized by poor service, antiquated facilities and congestion despite promises of improvement. Air India has a fleet of 30 planes and can service only 40% of its rights. Other airlines are trying to enter the market but are prevented by poor facilities of the airport terminals. Politicians have so far devoted $300 million to upgrading the facilities within the period of 1994-1996 aside from allowing foreign airlines to service commuter traffic.
