Air policy biased towards airports
With various stake holders of Indian aviation - airlines, private airports, oil companies and the government - blaming one another for the current mess, Captain GR Gopinath, the pioneer of low-cost air travel in the country, has decried India's aviation policy as one that lacks a long -term vision.He said the low-cost airline model, which he started with Air Deccan in 2004 would stay in India because people have accepted it. This is why all full service airlines such as Jet, Kingfisher and Air India are offering low fares to woo price conscious flyers.
