You know the saying- it's in a company's interest to get rid of competition unless its among their suppliers. I don't blame 6E for objecting, any firm would complain about competition (but it doesn't mean they're right) .... it's the government job to ensure competition. _________________ eP007 Back to top jasepl Member Joined: 26 Jul 2008 Posts: 4257 Location: bund-bay Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2014 3:03 pm    Post subject: iah87 wrote: The FDI was originally designed to aid existing struggling airlines.

Tata SQ is soooo needed in indian aviation. India cannot afford to have these operators that can't manage airlines. Indigo should be more focused on their own issues. Is someone paying the indian airlines to just fight with each other so that none can grow? What's next the AI piolts union saying we welcome more seats for EK and control of 9W by EY but we sternly object to Tata SQ and we recommend they be forbidden from flying international for 10 years and the year before they can fly lets give all ME airlines more seats. Indian aviation is the joke that will never end.

While making a 6E booking (no pun intended) for BOM-BLR on goibibo.com it says "Depart: Mumbai, India - Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM)". I am guessing they mean (what was known as) Sahar, so that's a little weird. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

I guess staying on the other side of the world for so long has its effects (and yet, you manage to tell us more about Indian aviation than many of us actually know, or pick up!). It is just a matter of convention: BOM is called the CSIA, and has 2.5 terminals: T1A (AI), T1B (the rest), T1C (shared): all domestic: Santa Cruz; and T2 (International). You will get 6E at T1B, if you are lucky, you may get a gate in the impressive T1C, which allows me to indulge in two of my passions, plane-watching (it is a spotter's delight), and of course...food. Similarly, DEL is IGIA with T1D (domestic LCC terminal: departures), T1C (sometimes not known by this name, but as T1D itself: domestic LCC terminal: arrivals), and T3 (International: full-serivce+LCC).

I am guessing they mean (what was known as) Sahar, so that's a little weird. That is actually correct. The whole airport is Chhatrapati. The domestic terminals (1 ABC) are in Santa Cruz and the international ones (2X) are in Sahar. So your flight departs from Chhatrapati Airport, Terminal 1B. _________________ four years free of jetya punti!

The airline, run by InterGlobe Aviation Pvt. Ltd, which was charging passengers a premium of Rs.500 for sitting in rows one, two, 12 and 13 on domestic flights, will increase that to Rs.600 per passenger, it said on its website. The seats are called premium because they offer more leg room on IndiGo’s all-economy seating configuration. IndiGo, which allows 15kg of free baggage, will now charge Rs.750 for the next 5kg, up from Rs.500 earlier. Passengers will be allowed to carry 15kg of extra baggage over and above the free 15kg in return for paying Rs.2,000 and 30kg for Rs.3,000.
