    Nothing new with Air India. Always some excuse or the other which causes inconvenience to passengers. Thank God everyone got out alive.

    Looks like Air India and Pakistan International Airlines are in competition with each other for the Worst Airline Award.

    IXE can handle aircraft size of A320 or B737-800 only. We dont have the runway length for aircraft above these sizes. If not there can be another big diaster. While land has been approved for new airport at Konaje, not sure why we are still developing the old table top airport. Makes not sense at all.

    It was a Airbus310 wide body category, which looks big. The runway currently is only 1615 mtrs and the expansion request was for 2450 mtrs and above, for which AAI wants the state govt to invest for the expansion. We need to have the runway expanded soon, only then bigger aircrafts can land and be another destination of pride for the int'l airlines.

    Airbus 310 can land and take off from Mangalore Airport. I am referring to the Haj Flights to Saudi Arabia from IXE.

    It is not first time ,and will not be the last time AI .having technical problems.As usual.Iask sometimes really they dont check before flight takes off.It can happen to any other too.But AI .is bit too much.Big risk to passengers when it happens very often.
