@ayojoestar There used to be a ticketing department & a CTO (Chief Ticketing Officer). My Grandfather was the CTO of British Airways in India. He used to be super influential as his stamp would decide who’d get to fly. He’s 91 now & cannot comprehend how easily we book tickets today.

@AviationAll_ They should get the comac. Big blow to Airbus and Boeing.

With IndiGo's ATR72 Fleet Replacement Due, It's Quite Imminent that 6E will Place an Order for Regional Jets
But, for What Aircraft? Undoubtedly, the ATR72 is Well-Proven, while the A220 & the E190 Suffer from Engine Issues.
Will IndiGo Go Safe, Or Take a Risk? Time will Tell.

Too bad AIR INDIA is learning the hard way. Here's what I would have done 3 years earlier:
1. Retained VISTARA w/ Vinod Kannan as CEO
2.Brought all incoming brand new planes under VISTARA
3. Merged legacy Air India into Air India Express and made that the whole low cost carrier
Griffin@6ESinger157593
Yup I said so- weeks ago. A little bird in Bombay House told me indianexpress.com/article/india/…

@Avaan20 @KaptainPetrovs I agree. Free meals was something that was unnecessary from the start considering their competition is indigo. A free drink would’ve kept them competitive. And going the SIA - scoot way of Branding would’ve been better if this is what it was coming to
English
@rohinmp @KaptainPetrovs Exactly, but this is one very retarded airline. Also AIX has diluted the AI brand by having similar name

THE "MAHARAJA" has left building!
⭕️Air India considering unbundling meals. Airline that serves biryani at 35K feet is about to become airline that sells you biryani at 35K feet. Subtle but important distinction
⭕️Possibility of new joint MD/CEO to muddle waters even more!
English
@AmitK1275 @KaartikGor It was necessary. But maybe also consider the impact it has had on Indian businesses and Indian jobs?
English
@KaartikGor The irony is Indians like you are teasing our country. Was operation Sindoor not necessary? India always betrayed by its own
English
It would be interesting to calculate the losses after Operation Sindoor, when Pakistan closed its airspace and Indian flights had to take longer routes, making them more expensive.

@ari_maj @flyspicejet Don’t you have legal option ? Sue the airline!

@pushkar_risbud @varunb777 So your claim that Mumbai has no international demand is purely based on your personal observation?
English
@rohinmp @varunb777 Look at the number of airlines cancelling flights to Mumbai. United,Delta Korean Air, LOT and Finnair. ANA is also planning to reduce the frequency. JAL never came to Mumbai because it knows that the Delhi and Bengaluru are high demand routes. Same with Qantas.
English
lol IndiGo accounts for 85% departures out of Navi Mumbai airport right now.
This is going to be so much fun 🤣🤣🤣
English
@pushkar_risbud @varunb777 Where do you get this data from? That Mumbai has no international demand since the pandemic?
English
@varunb777 It won't. Mumbai has had no international demand since the pandemic. That's why Korean Air, LOT, Finnair left. Mumbai Taipei is a very low demand route so it's highly unlikely for Eva air to come to Mumbai.
English
@KaptainPetrovs They need to take more risks with destinations like indigo. I guess Bali and Manila are the only new destinations that come to mind that they were first movers in right?
English
IndiGo flies Delhi-Hanoi daily. Vietnam Airlines flies it four times. VietJet three times. Air India looked at this and thought — yes, we should also do this
Khabri Lal@khabri_lal
Starting tomorrow, Air India will start flights to Hanoi, its second destination in Vietnam. It uses its same 5x weekly template use earlier. networkthoughts.com/2026/04/29/air…

@notanidealistic @KaptainPetrovs I guess they needed some place to start and test from? Maybe they had things sorted at Varanasi? I believe their plan is to eventually start from many more airports too
English
@rohinmp @KaptainPetrovs What if it failures in varanasi will govt stop that project.
It is wrong to start that project from Varanasi. They could have started from any other airport which as good frequency to delhi.
It is much needed for airindia growth. Govt should start it from other airports too

AIR INDIA: 'WE CAN'T RUN DELHI OR MUMBAI PROFITABLY — HAVE YOU CONSIDERED VARANASI?'

English
@KaptainPetrovs The CNBC headline is wrong. And no news channel has explained this hub and spoke model properly.
English
@KaptainPetrovs It’s a trial at Varanasi. Where passengers will do customs and immigration at Varanasi and have a seamless transfer at Delhi. The flight is not going to originate from Varanasi. Once works well at Varanasi same system will start to apply across other airports.
English
@TheBigGeek Sorry to say but it is your fault. Why’d you come back to india thinking things have changed?

“Taang tod doonga. 10 baje ke baad kitchen kholi toh dekh lena.”
The story starts again. Same pattern.
Police walk in and shut us down.
Refuse to take a complaint.
We employ 15 people per kitchen.
Jobs now at risk because we won’t pay a bribe.
Police that should protect us are hurting us.

@sadist_2003 They need to forget Indian airlines and get international ones. Get the gov to renew exhausted bilateral agreements in w the condition that seats can be used only on NMIA (and other new airports). Emirates/etihad will fly the next day and start stimulating demand.

Jeet Adani said that they were eyeing for international flights in March, May has arrived and no signs of International flights..

🚨 Airlines are 'NOT' inclined to shift operations to the newly inaugurated Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) due to higher tariffs and inadequate road and metro connectivity. - Air India Group.
English
@rishabhm 2-2.5k discount required between the two airports..
English
Unless you live in Navi Mumbai, Wadala, or Parel, getting to NMIA is a task. If I lived in the suburbs or down south, I wouldn't bother going to NMIA unless a substantial discount was available. This is a glaring miss. There needs to be an Airport metro between CSMIA and NMIA. Otherwise, this isn't going anywhere.
