BJP has understood that progress in India is often measured by the tall and swanky infrastructural marvels, and by showcasing these structures to the public, the public feels that the area has progressed massively undermining the condition of the city's economy, necessity, etc. If not vote on ideology or caste, the swanky infrastructure that replicates present-day America is what drives many people in the semi-urban areas to vote for a certain party in our country. This is something that people have to understand at the earliest that it will only hurt the economy more, forcing the govt to focus on issues where there is an actual necessity.
Describe the actual necessity which can be fixed in short time? Why you think that this infrastructure is not needed? Why do you not think that more than one thing can be done at same time (we have different ministry)? If govt. is doing one thing you will say no no don't do this do that 😂😂 its not like on a fine morning they wake up and starts building road, highway expressway airport their feasibility study is done

@neo5973 Very true. Near international standards, except for traffic that comes on tge wrong side of the road - very dangerous. People's behaviour has to change.
can the middle class afford ? do they have well paid jobs to take 3-4 people in flight ? real situation is 60-70% of the working class is leaving life on loans and cant even afford small outing without using credit card. at last that flight charges are sky high.
Small outing without credit cards? You guys need a financial advisor's help. Even 20k salaried people with their family can afford a trip to any part of India if planned properly instead of contributing most to disposable incomes.
On a flipside, Madurai Airport (IXM), Tamilnadu requested many years to make it as a full international airport. Govt declined to do it. It is merely a clerical thing to just list the airport in a new list. So airlines can fly more international routes. Now only three international flights to Dubai and Singapore and Colombo are operated. Once this airport added to full scale international list then more routes will be operational. For more than 15 years people and chamber of commerce of Madurai petitioning union govt for this. But why take no action . But building new airports in places where there are no flyers as just election stunt.
Govt thinks North Indians want big airports and railway station with metro facilities to level up their standard of living.. But the same govt provides free grains for 80 crore people bcas they are poor..
Same thing our Vijayawada Airport in Andhra Pradesh . Vijayawada City is the second biggest city in the state of Andhra Pradesh . A bit like Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu .
Stop charging ₹500 for plain water bottles which cost ₹20 outside the airport and do proper surveys before blindly constructing airports just for elections sake and reduce airfares and encourage new airline companies to expand their operations, instead of burdening them with taxes
Agree bro,govt is making more here in up even largest airport jewar. But many are in loss like moradabad,azamgarh and many more are in loss.But average income is not increasing. It should be built in south indian states,then it will be beneficial for our economy.

Home to flight took 30 misn to travel. Came to Bangalore by flight within 45 mins. From the airport to my stay which is still in the heart of Bangalore, it took 3-4 hours to travel just 30 KMs. This alone shows how infeasible Bangalore airport is. Forget about the rest of the local airports. Flight prices have become absurdly high as soon as airport starts to thrive .
The problem is that when cities are not being developed according to international standards then who will come to these places by planes. Is there anything in Kushinagar, Sindhudurg, etc. are not even standards of india metro cities. Atleast China developed 2 and 3 tier cities.
Smaller Airports need to Operate small planes that connect to larger cities & other smaller Airports . That will be affordable to average income people. Maybe smaller Airports could be used for cargo planes as part of the supply chain network . A few decades back small planes used to fly between Chennai & Kochi which people could easily afford. Now Kochi is well developed & has a busy Airport
Kushinagar is actaullly a tourist destination for buddhist. Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai and monks from many other countries have made huge monasteries there.
India should develop airports as part of of a multimodal cargo hubs in industrial hubs. That's where the actual need is. There are many industrial towns faraway from ports, they are in the hinterland. By building multimodal logistics hubs that have air cargo facilities, railways and lorries, industries can transport their goods to ports, to other industrial hubs to feed into other companies products or export them directly to foreign countries.
@@siddharthgoyal4008 Bangladeshi textile exporters are turning to air cargo because of delays in Indian ports. They are routing it through Maldives. They export it to Maldives thence to other destinations. It is expensive, they lament. I think there are already industries in India that can afford to transport goods via air. Besides, if you look at horticulture, people have been buying flowers from India to meet the shortfall during Valentine's day, the volume is small, but it is transported by air. There are also MSMEs selling goods online, in China, handicrafts, chairs, etc are being sold to customers in SEA.
Indian are not realizing the damage that oligarchy is doing to India and Indians cost of living. As The cost of infrastructure is gets high every thing becomes expensive. Salaries of Indian workers are lower than European workers , then why are airports charging more? Why are Toll roads and bridges crossing more expensive in India? ( check prices for Air travel on google flights, from any European countries to another, compare prices for any flight in India for a similar distance, you will find we pay much higher prices, It’s the Adani effect) .
The problem is corruption in city allocation. We have been demanding an airport in Agra for over 30 years now, since Agra is a major tourism hub for foreigners, but they gave an airport to Jewar instead of Agra. Who even goes to Jewar???
It's the hotel and tourism mafia In agra doing this to prevent the devt of agra airport. Now tourists are coming to Delhi and they can do 3 day tourist package including hotel stay. If international flight is coming directly to agra this business will decrease as many tourist will move for one day visit of taj.
@ delhi is operating above capacity with no room for expansion. I dont know about Ghaziabad.They wanted to build a greenfield airport and it was best fit
Hello Luke. I agree to a point. Frankly, Dabolim was a good location in my experience though constraints due to the rules. Mopa needs better connectivity to the rest of Goa. That's the major question. Maybe, it will pick up in future. I'm hopeful, let's see.
India to Dubai Flight costs around 10k but , Darbhanga ( A small towun in north Bihar) to Bengaluru flight with a shorter travel duration cost 15k , sometimes 20k. How on earth that is affordable to common people. The fare was 6-7k almost a year ago.

Mainly IT sector is dying slowly. Due to this economy is succumbing. The IT sector is dying due to international reasons. Govt failure both UPA and BJP is failure to renew inhouse manufacturing.
@@tanweeralam1650 Manufacturing sector of India is weak. Manufacturing doesn't create quick returns but gives a lot of stable jobs. Those jobs are difficult to do and cannot be replaced by AI. Salary in modern manufacturing is good it's not insanely high as IT but it is plenty. Everyone in India corporates and ministers, concentrated on IT for quick return. That sector is slowly dying, since IT infra is mostly made plus AI can maintain and upgrade it easily. For example: Indians never made windows they were always contractor who supported making certain modules of it.
In solapur fly91 was about to start service from 23rd december but later they cancelled stating refuel and winter fog issues. During congress govt 2010 kingfisher was servicing air services in solapur without any problems.
Main problem is steep inflation of other commodities and stagnant salaries making people to choose cheaper modes of transport. People expending on luxury is decreasing because of inflation.
It cost me 11k for a flight from bengaluru to lucknow and total of 22k around this cost is only of flights , i am currently thinking to go directly to delhi and get a bus from there to my village which will cost me around 7k and from other side use train which will save me around 10k every trip, currently travelling via plane is not feasible. I do atleast 5 round trips which cost around 1 lakh currently.
Last moment they would tell that the flight was cancelled and direct passengers to go by Goa flight to reach Sindhudurga. That costs alot.Taxi fares are huge. Many times that must have happened. Such an unreliable journey.🙏
They built airport where no demand and don't built airport where their is demand. Best example Telangana have only one airport in Hyderabad for passengers😢 no other airport through out Telangana.
@@Asim_Khan00gmr has a contract not to build airport within 150 km . Warangal falls within that distance. Hyderabad is only 130 km from warangal . Does even make economic sense build an airport in warangal
@@karthika560 GMR has waived off that clause from the contract. Warangal will definitely be successful coz close Khammam, Karimnagar, Siddipet, Jangaon etc. RGIA is already super packed. Traffic will reduce if Warangal Airport is built.
@@Asim_Khan00 There is so much land available for airport expansion in shamshabad.Another airport is totally unnecessary. By 2030 40 percent of population will be under ghmc. Another airport in Telangana will be a white elephant. No private player will take that up and AAI wont do it without PPP. With RRR coming up even remote regions of the state can reach hyderabad faster than ever.
Should have invested that money in Railways and metro connectivity. Example : kurnool to Hyderabad cost 400 in bus 180 in train and directly reach central part of city. Then why would some one spare 2500 to reach hyd airport and again take taxi to raech central part of city .
That is why India's metro network has increased from from 243km to 993km and 997km under construction (the work is slow because the opposition as usual opposes it for no reason and pritest that it will harm enviorment caused significantdelays) also in last 10 years 31,000 km of new railway line has been added People spend money on airport for comfort and time, can go from bengluru to Kolkata 20x cheaper than plane but people still use planes as it does not take 3 days transporting time in a train
Because they building it places where it is not viable...but, easy to build...i will give you an example...sabrimala in Kerala is one of the busiest pilgrimage site in india...there have been efforts to build an airport there...but land acquisition is not easy and the central don't care it is not going forward quickly... meanwhile it is easier to build in nowhere because the cost of land acquisition is less... government is not looking at economic viability just blind infrastructure building
There is no need to construct an airport in the middle of the jungle, in the Ghats, for the purpose of a pilgrimage, which is traditionally done at foot ! Kerala government wants to spoil (it's already the case) the sanctity and pristine of Sabarimala, for milking pilgrims and turn the shrine as a new Tirupati ! Outside seasonal pilgrims, how can demand be sustained for this airport ? Maybe are they planning at long term to open the temple all year round ?
Nothing comes overnight!! Remember when they opened bank accounts they said the same thing why so many accounts with zero balances.look now we got it became back bone of digital economy.we don’t have enough flights.They are all orders pending
Pls dont compare banks to airports. Remember one pandemic simple virus made whole worlds airport to kneel down. Even after knowing covid 19 n its aftermath govt shouldn't have done so many airports. They could instead focus on metros n sewage treatment. Open mor public parks. Where gym workout,kids play area having aprks. Look at dubai if they wish they could do so many airports,but u ll see at every 5 kms there is a park ,theme parks like jogger sparks,paw parks for pets, bbq parks, pond parks.
In our city hubli Karnataka there was flights for hubli to Ahmedabad which was full most of time then indigo discontinued and went to belgavi and same thing many times flights gets cancelled or shifts to other cities and
2 airports are cited in biased report. Rome is not built overnight. Check how Dehradun and Jaiselmer turnaround. Also what about success stories like Darbhanga, Deoghar, Ayodhya, Jharsuguda, Hubli, GOX, etc.
What about Jaisalmer? Previously there used to run flights to delhi mumbai Ahmedabad bangalore jaipur. Now only 1 indigo is operating from Jaisalmer, that too only delhi mumbai jaipur and too costly.
A lot can be done. For example, in Agra airport process is very smooth but there is no parking. You need to reach by a taxi (or someone drops you). Next, you have to look for airport bus to get you to the terminal. There are similar bottlenecks in several small airports.
Indians don't really have much of spending culture on flights, plus how these regional flights are deployed and operated also play a factor. For example someone from Karnataka from a location away from mega city might not travel to UP which is another regional place and how many would travel to big cities?
Few cities require airport but not included as agreement like Hosur airport which will be beneficial for both Bangalore and hosur region but due agreement with KIA aiport they are not. Also few airports like pune airport working in full capacity.however new airport work is delayed.
Govt focusing tourism in UP-bihar-delhi Which could never happen thanks to uncivc crowd, poor infrastructure, poor safety, unhygienic condition, uneducated crowd etc Focus on southern india, western India, himalayan india instead
Meanwhile, Darbhanga (Bihar) laughing in the corner. Darbhanga Airport emerged as the top airport with highest growth in all the airports opened under UDAN.
@@coconutpunch123 why u always whine about south india It's only tamil nadu ,rest of the south india is dragger as well. Its west india maharashtra and Gujrat who's paying too much. Maharashtra literally get nothing in return and get more burden of uncivic migrants from UP-bihar
@Anti_woke_1 not only tamilnadu all southern states getting looted to feed north indian bimaru states. Its a fact. They get neglected in union budget and railway budget also.
Indians prefer to travel four adults on a motor cycle and a dozen in a five seater sedan. Airports are just too futuristic. The government should have known better 😂.
Although I wanted to take flight to Kushinagar, I chose Gorakhpur airport as price was approximately half compared to price of flight to Kushinagar (for just ~50 km distance difference).
Real problem is lack of proper road connectivity to the airport. For 20 km distance, taxi driver charges around 2000 rupees. Air fare is 2500 from Mumbai. Improve road infra, bus transportation and see the result. You will be surprised.
First reduce prices of food in airports. Even in a lousy airport like Pune, food is priced at 5x of outside. The only airport I’ve seen with reasonably priced food is Shivamogga airport in Karnataka. This makes flying, especially to cities like Bengaluru, a very pricy proposition.
This is all down lack of air capacity allowed by Govt. to foreign carriers. We cannot rely on India carriers, we have to give more capacity to International airlines.
In North America and Europe small towns have airports. These small airports are connectivity hubs in case of emergency - security, medical and natural calamity. Even if the airport is not having traffic that does not mean we should not have futuristic plan.
First Modi's corruption should be checked. He ordered these airports without proper survey if the area can afford one, the built a poor quality ones with rajkot airport's roof collapsing in the first rain jus like his new parliament and ram mandir etc. then he would hand over these prime real estate to andani.. most corrupt PM india ever saw
Main issue with pondicherry is sudden cancellation of scheduled flight and also no alternate arranged.. Flight operators need to give a flight from chennai and give travel compensation to chennai also, if they cant fly and cancel at last day..
It is all about giving the 'babus' more money to satisfy thier egos and likes of Adani, more public money. When you don't have basic amenities like uninterrupted power, telephone, water, gas, good roads not just highways...what's the point in building airports!!

Air tickets costs somewhere around 10-12k on return tickets. To top it everything is taxed. Salaries have remained the same for a very long time. How will the consumers afford anything?
While these airports are still deserted.. our honourable aviation minister is planning to build 6 domestic cum commercial airports across andhra pradesh to just simply waste public money.. coz those areas where they have selected will not have any passenger movement frequently!!!
Kisi ne agar cities skylines khela hai toh Pehle poore map pe city bana lena and then baad mei Airport banane ki koshish karna. Bada maza aayega, tab samjhoge ke demand se pehle crucial infrastructure create karna kyu zaruri hai.
Well my friends have started opting for less travelled airports near our home already(preferred Andal airport over Kolkata airport)....so we can say that the shift is happening...but it will take some time
All domestic flights here are low class enough(except vistara). Drop any further and you'd start geting cattle, paan eaters and chaiwalas in the aisles.
Sochkar banane chaheye the na yeh airports. Isse better existing ko better kar dete. Also, when cheaper options via bus and train are available, then majority of population would prefer that mode
Earning is quite good but tax exemption is feeble, instead of spending people try to do investment. Should provide tax benefits on domestic travel. Which will make all win win situation.
Infra is made keeping future in mind and not present. Mumbai pune expy now faces jams every weekend and when it was made it had very few cars. Flights will come in future, at least we have the airports ready.
Cannot compare Mumbai Pune with any other place. This is a unique region blessed by nature, man and God and Pune was one of India's most important cities even at the time of independence in 1947. Plus, that expressway is not the reason for the growth, Pune city grew so the expressway grew. Without the expressway also, Pune would still have been a very important city, as it was prior to the expressway too. Same way, assuming an expressway between Mumbai and other city, would it have the same impact. Plus, future kya hoga, we don't know. It's possible that the economy may not grow the way we think. Or it may, let's see. The Modi government has taken a gamble, future will tell if it pays or not.
@@vikasprakashjoshi2090 Thats what I am saying, Pune and Mumbai grew and so did the use of expressway.

Government policies are not favorable to run an airline with smaller budget. It's causing m & a in the aviation industry, resulting in fewer players and higher fares. Overall airfares are still out of reach from large portion of population.

The problem is that when cities are not being developed according to international standards then who will come to these places by planes. Is there anything in Kushinagar, Sindhudurg, etc. are not even standards of india metro cities. Atleast China developed 2 and 3 tier cities.
Smaller Airports need to Operate small planes that connect to larger cities & other smaller Airports . That will be affordable to average income people. Maybe smaller Airports could be used for cargo planes as part of the supply chain network .
A few decades back small planes used to fly between Chennai & Kochi which people could easily afford. Now Kochi is well developed & has a busy Airport

India should develop airports as part of of a multimodal cargo hubs in industrial hubs. That's where the actual need is. There are many industrial towns faraway from ports, they are in the hinterland. By building multimodal logistics hubs that have air cargo facilities, railways and lorries, industries can transport their goods to ports, to other industrial hubs to feed into other companies products or export them directly to foreign countries.
@@robinsonfrancis1498 india does not export anything that high value that it be transported through air cargo.
@@siddharthgoyal4008 Bangladeshi textile exporters are turning to air cargo because of delays in Indian ports. They are routing it through Maldives. They export it to Maldives thence to other destinations. It is expensive, they lament. I think there are already industries in India that can afford to transport goods via air. Besides, if you look at horticulture, people have been buying flowers from India to meet the shortfall during Valentine's day, the volume is small, but it is transported by air. There are also MSMEs selling goods online, in China, handicrafts, chairs, etc are being sold to customers in SEA.
Salaries are too less for people to afford flights. Unemployment is rampant. Rich poor gap is too big. Modi only created swiggy zomato jobs.
Indian are not realizing the damage that oligarchy is doing to India and Indians cost of living. As The cost of infrastructure is gets high every thing becomes expensive.
Salaries of Indian workers are lower than European workers , then why are airports charging more? Why are Toll roads and bridges crossing more expensive in India? ( check prices for Air travel on google flights, from any European countries to another, compare prices for any flight in India for a similar distance, you will find we pay much higher prices, It’s the Adani effect) .
The problem is corruption in city allocation. We have been demanding an airport in Agra for over 30 years now, since Agra is a major tourism hub for foreigners, but they gave an airport to Jewar instead of Agra. Who even goes to Jewar???
It's the hotel and tourism mafia In agra doing this to prevent the devt of agra airport. Now tourists are coming to Delhi and they can do 3 day tourist package including hotel stay. If international flight is coming directly to agra this business will decrease as many tourist will move for one day visit of taj.

Hello Luke. I agree to a point. Frankly, Dabolim was a good location in my experience though constraints due to the rules. Mopa needs better connectivity to the rest of Goa. That's the major question. Maybe, it will pick up in future. I'm hopeful, let's see.

Reaching the airport, costs more time and money than the flight sometimes.
Airlines in india is luxury, its not cheap like usa . No low budget carriers in india. Heavy tax another problem.
In solapur fly91 was about to start service from 23rd december but later they cancelled stating refuel and winter fog issues.
During congress govt 2010 kingfisher was servicing air services in solapur without any problems.
Main problem is steep inflation of other commodities and stagnant salaries making people to choose cheaper modes of transport. People expending on luxury is decreasing because of inflation.

Let's see.
Should have invested that money in Railways and metro connectivity.
Example : kurnool to Hyderabad cost 400 in bus 180 in train and directly reach central part of city. Then why would some one spare 2500 to reach hyd airport and again take taxi to raech central part of city .
That is why India's metro network has increased from from 243km to 993km and 997km under construction (the work is slow because the opposition as usual opposes it for no reason and pritest that it will harm enviorment caused significantdelays) also in last 10 years 31,000 km of new railway line has been added
People spend money on airport for comfort and time, can go from bengluru to Kolkata 20x cheaper than plane but people still use planes as it does not take 3 days transporting time in a train
Earning not rising
Cost of everything rising fast
Look at the ticket prices
People mostly use trains and buses for local journey. And air journey is not affordable for majority of people.
Flying in plane is still a dream for the middle class in India
Because they building it places where it is not viable...but, easy to build...i will give you an example...sabrimala in Kerala is one of the busiest pilgrimage site in india...there have been efforts to build an airport there...but land acquisition is not easy and the central don't care it is not going forward quickly... meanwhile it is easier to build in nowhere because the cost of land acquisition is less... government is not looking at economic viability just blind infrastructure building
There is no need to construct an airport in the middle of the jungle, in the Ghats, for the purpose of a pilgrimage, which is traditionally done at foot !
Kerala government wants to spoil (it's already the case) the sanctity and pristine of Sabarimala, for milking pilgrims and turn the shrine as a new Tirupati !
Outside seasonal pilgrims, how can demand be sustained for this airport ? Maybe are they planning at long term to open the temple all year round ?
Indian Economy is going to collapse, Thanks to BJP ..
😂 keep crying
Nothing comes overnight!!
Remember when they opened bank accounts they said the same thing why so many accounts with zero balances.look now we got it became back bone of digital economy.we don’t have enough flights.They are all orders pending
Pls dont compare banks to airports. Remember one pandemic simple virus made whole worlds airport to kneel down. Even after knowing covid 19 n its aftermath govt shouldn't have done so many airports. They could instead focus on metros n sewage treatment. Open mor public parks. Where gym workout,kids play area having aprks. Look at dubai if they wish they could do so many airports,but u ll see at every 5 kms there is a park ,theme parks like jogger sparks,paw parks for pets, bbq parks, pond parks.
In our city hubli Karnataka there was flights for hubli to Ahmedabad which was full most of time then indigo discontinued and went to belgavi and same thing many times flights gets cancelled or shifts to other cities and
2 airports are cited in biased report. Rome is not built overnight. Check how Dehradun and Jaiselmer turnaround. Also what about success stories like Darbhanga, Deoghar, Ayodhya, Jharsuguda, Hubli, GOX, etc.
What about Jaisalmer? Previously there used to run flights to delhi mumbai Ahmedabad bangalore jaipur. Now only 1 indigo is operating from Jaisalmer, that too only delhi mumbai jaipur and too costly.
A lot can be done. For example, in Agra airport process is very smooth but there is no parking. You need to reach by a taxi (or someone drops you). Next, you have to look for airport bus to get you to the terminal.
There are similar bottlenecks in several small airports.
It's good, we don't want airports to become the new railway stations
Indians don't really have much of spending culture on flights, plus how these regional flights are deployed and operated also play a factor. For example someone from Karnataka from a location away from mega city might not travel to UP which is another regional place and how many would travel to big cities?
Few cities require airport but not included as agreement like Hosur airport which will be beneficial for both Bangalore and hosur region but due agreement with KIA aiport they are not. Also few airports like pune airport working in full capacity.however new airport work is delayed.

how many can pay for these trips abroad these days?
And routes like Pune- Lucknow, Pune- Patna which has huge demand has only one direct flight to each destination...
Real problem is lack of proper road connectivity to the airport. For 20 km distance, taxi driver charges around 2000 rupees. Air fare is 2500 from Mumbai. Improve road infra, bus transportation and see the result. You will be surprised.
The flights are costly, that's why.
Don’t forget the airport taxi fare. Almost cost 30-40% of the airfare. Cheaper to travel by train/bus where the stations are in the city.
Make tickets bit cheaper ...and see the difference but this govt believes in tax collection on everything
Better convert them Into Airforce bases or Airforce training bases so it’s better utilized ❤️
First reduce prices of food in airports. Even in a lousy airport like Pune, food is priced at 5x of outside. The only airport I’ve seen with reasonably priced food is Shivamogga airport in Karnataka. This makes flying, especially to cities like Bengaluru, a very pricy proposition.
This is all down lack of air capacity allowed by Govt. to foreign carriers. We cannot rely on India carriers, we have to give more capacity to International airlines.
The reason behind all these ruckus is govt has made flight journey a luxury 😊
In North America and Europe small towns have airports. These small airports are connectivity hubs in case of emergency - security, medical and natural calamity. Even if the airport is not having traffic that does not mean we should not have futuristic plan.
We can't keep up with group employees on a pay roll for the airports with no operations .
And then they do politics like removing flights from Jabalpur to Gwalior because the Minister belonged toh that constituency
Patna airport is overcrowded and the replacement airport has been under construction for five plus years!!
First Modi's corruption should be checked.

Rural airports will only work in south of India as their purchasing power is higher . Northern rural people has no money.
Infra is made keeping future in mind and not present. Mumbai pune expy now faces jams every weekend and when it was made it had very few cars. Flights will come in future, at least we have the airports ready.
Cannot compare Mumbai Pune with any other place. This is a unique region blessed by nature, man and God and Pune was one of India's most important cities even at the time of independence in 1947. Plus, that expressway is not the reason for the growth, Pune city grew so the expressway grew. Without the expressway also, Pune would still have been a very important city, as it was prior to the expressway too. Same way, assuming an expressway between Mumbai and other city, would it have the same impact.
Plus, future kya hoga, we don't know. It's possible that the economy may not grow the way we think. Or it may, let's see. The Modi government has taken a gamble, future will tell if it pays or not.

Government policies are not favorable to run an airline with smaller budget. It's causing m & a in the aviation industry, resulting in fewer players and higher fares. Overall airfares are still out of reach from large portion of population.
