    Air India/Express is of late becoming very notorious for delayed/cancelled flights. B'lore-M',lore flights are never on time and often they are cancelled leaving the passengers high and dry. This trend is not restricted to South Kanara alone. We hear amount it everywhere. Although Air India is adding more and more new aircrafts to its fleet, it has not helped it to improve their efficiency. Interest of announcing more and more flights on new sectors, they should take a leaf out of Indigo Airlines to improve their efficiency. Better still, they should poach their CEO to do this. If they continue to operate their flights like this, it will be a big blot on the TATAS. We all have great expectations from the TATAS. It's hight time they pull up their socks and stand up to our expectation. Or else, Ratan Tata will not rest in peace.
