A K Bhattacharya: Bottlenecks in the sky RAISINA HILL A K Bhattacharya / New Delhi April 19, 2005 .. ... ... .. ... ... Somebody in the government should take a holistic view. It is not enough to get more airlines to fly more aircraft to different cities in India to improve air connectivity. Equally important is to increase the infrastructure facilities available to handle the increased number of flights. Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel has done a commendable job by increasing competition in this sector, which has resulted in lower fares and more choice for the Indian air traveller. These benefits can be sustainable only if the infrastructure to handle more airlines is also beefed up without any further delay. ---------------------------
