No, seriously! With the expansion and renovation bids finally underway... you'd think there was hope. I , have serious doubts. One, where are they going to expand? Delhi airport perhaps is doable... but where is the land around the airport in Mumbai... I just flew from Mumbai to Delhi and had a worms eye view of the situation... Mumbai airport is surrounded by buildings..infact the road you exit the area by, is in such a mess of concrete, that you'd feel claustrophobic. I did.
I have a feeling they need to increase airport parking at least a few times over... are they going to? They say they need to finsh this before the 2010 games... are they going to?I'm such a doubter.
On a side note, i flew Indian after quite a while... Interesting experience. Early morning flight. One air hostess nearly slaps people awake to serve them breakfast. I had to press the i-want-attention button thrice over 10 minutes before one of the crazies came to me... And they're trying to compete with Jet and Kingfisher... good luck.
