The Joke of the Day Probably not The Joke of India maybe.
A few questions to ponder upon
Air India and Indian(Indian Airlines) merger; what was the rationale...
Synergy of 2 units merge into one...
Have a bigger fleet...
Have a bigger and unified employee strength...
Now what happened...
Jeddah for example:
Extremely lucrative sector. Any carrier flies into Jeddah fills dirt cheap fuel upto the brim for its onward, return journey.
Jeddah allows only 2 airlines per country. Previously it was Indian Airlines and Air India and now both of them are one. So Jet Airways walks into this sector. Surprising Jet flies with packed house whereas Air India has not been able to declare this sector as lucrative as it could have been. There has been cases in past when people could not manage tickets with the national carrier and still it was not flying 100%
Now who laughs at the joke at whose cost???
Singapore a strange coincidence:
Air India jet is grounded for technical nag. An engineer is flown especially into Singapore and he declares the aircraft unfit for flight. On the other hand Jet flies out of Singapore with full house and Mr Naresh Goyal personally welcomes all the guests when they land in India. Well it could be a coincidence but a little strange.
Who laughs at the joke at whose cost???
London another example:
Air India gets 12 landing slots in London for all its operations. A decent figure by any means that too in London. Air India over last 4 years slowly shifts its European base from London to Frankfurt??? Shifting base from London to Frankfurt!!! a business decesion probably has some economic reason... but leaving London market to private carriers for their operations... sounds fishy.
Strangely now Air India operates 2 flights from and through London and rest has gone to private airlinrs operating out of India.
What a Joke!!!
only the aviation minister and higher outhorities can play this game and only they are responsible for the big loss of air india. Aviation minister and other higher authorities of air india should resign and be punished.
ReplyDeleteThanks Parminder. I am looking for some more information about such incidents let us see how early i can get them.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent.
ReplyDeleteI have always been against Government involvement in Commercial enterprises.
I'd rather have private specialists doing a great job than a bunch of half-hearted Bureaucratic employees working for a dying Public sector carrier.
Many countries, including the US do not operate commercial airlines, then why us?
It's time Air India, Indian Airlines and Indian sell their planes and step aside to let private companies run by the people do a better job.
What a shame..... this is precisely , why we are still a third world country.....
