He can blame whatever he wants. This is actually a good development. Mallya is finally fixing the egoistic aircraft ordering spree he went on a few years ago. Non-stops using A340-500s aren't making good money for anyone. Even airlines like Singapore, Emirates, Air Canada, etc. are dropping those or...

Re: Civil Aviation Development & Discussion
Kingfisher, SpiceJet near share swap deal. The deal also makes sense as Spicejet's Boeing fleet will make it easier for Mallya to fly to the US. I don't know what these DDM smoke. All spicejet has is narrowbody boeing 737s. You cant fly to US from India on that unless you want to stop at multiple p...

the ideal 'model' to apply is consider Pak as just another province of PRC. A rational PRC then has to make the assumption that no matter what, TSP will not be allowed in the future bite the hand that feeds it. A TSP dominant subcontinent is PRC's nightmare.
