You must realise that Delhi and Mumbai handle more traffic than Singapore and Dubai because we have a huge domestic market," said Praful Patel, Civil Aviation Minister. Wow, did he really say that? BOM and DEL won’t catch up to DBX or SIN for years . It's obviously great to hear that our skies are safe, but a big reason for this is due to the relative lack of traffic. As much as we like talking about BOM-DEL being busy and traffic growing at 30%, our country hardly has any air traffic. _________________ eP007 Back to top sammyk Member Joined: 20 Dec 2006 Posts: 2719 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2007 3:49 am    Post subject: What sort of traffic is he talking about? Is it just aircraft movement? Anyone have figures? Dubai and Singapore have a lot of widebody operations so it may be possible that BOM/DEL have greater aircraft movement.

Good point, I didn’t think of that. According to: http://www.changiairport.com/changi/en/about_us/fact_sheets/air_traffic_statistics/2006/index.html In Singapore, during December 2006 Passengers handled = 3.4 million (35 for the whole year) Aircraft movements = 19,000 (214,000 for the whole year) According to the CAPA report In Delhi for November 2006, Pax = 1.68 million A/c movements = 17,283 (For October) In Bombay (also for November 2006) Pax = 1.77 million Movements = 18,292 So maybe in terms of aircraft movements, the gap is smaller (or Indian airports have overtaken it) _________________ eP007 Back to top shivendrashukla Member Joined: 21 Dec 2006 Posts: 1354 Location: Mumbai, India Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 11:15 am    Post subject: OK, In that case i am impressed by our ATC's. I am pretty sure that our navigational equipments are not as upto date as Singapore or Dubai's. Inspite of that our ATC's have done a commendable job. By the way does this report also takes into account military movements. As there are quite a few of them in Delhi and not as much in Bombay.

Oh yes, managing hell number of flights with just one rwy operational at a time at BOM is definately difficult. but yeah they do a lot of nonsense at times also. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!

Very commendable indeed, especially since most or all of their PCs do not even have software as advanced as Pentium 1 , i had seen a report about a year ago on this.
