I found the general kit in Delhi LCC terminal 1A/B to be much better than blr BIAL. the food options were definitely much better , while shops were less. BIAL std falls somewhere in between the typical AAI terminal and delhi shakina stds. dont keep ur hopes too high for phase2 - its not a brand new...

As far as I remember leh flights don't compromise on seats, my flight was full upto the brim. Flights arriving at Leh are normal flights but flights departing from Leh don't accept check-in baggage handbag (oops :P ), they cite security reasons not sure if hot and high performance is the criteria. ...

Anti ice should be the same, they all operate in the high flight levels. He mentioned a different wheel configuration, but there's also the case of cabin pressure :) Cabin pressure is kept to 6-8k feet, so if you're landing at an airport past 10k feet you need to make sure you can open the door :) ...

Also, - LCC's do use aero bridges. Its only a question of slot availability. - The problem with Goa (and with several other airports), is that it belongs to the Navy, but facilities are provided by AAI. Cooperation between the services and AAI/Other agencies is poor. Thus Goa is also closed in the m...

Rahul, Good points. I was in a senior position in an Airline in India and deal with B'lore airport. Just a couple of other points: 1. BLR airport is actually not that well planned. The runway which was supposed to last 12 years, started sinking after 6. This then required runway closures for severla...

Interesting article in the current `Outlook'. Apparently, there could be 2 Army Chief's on 31st May, if VKS does not step down.
MoD is yet to follow the SC order and determine his DoB. His retirement warning letter (RWL) has not been issued.

Putin got 61% of the vote with a 60% turnout. (not the 99% that Western cynics had claimed). In a multi candidate election, that's pretty impressive. More signfiicantly, the runner up was the Communist leader - Zyuganov. Not exactly someone the Anti Putin camp would like to see in power. Their candd...
