India's private airlines get together to cut costs P R Sanjai in Mumbai | January 24, 2006 02:14 IST In an increasingly buoyant sector, private airlines are coming together to share engineering resources, equipment, technical manpower and training requirements, for cutting down costs of operations. ... ... >From January 31, these airlines would transfer passengers of other flights on a flat fare in case of flight disruptions or overbooking. They also decided to avoid conflicting departure timings between the same city pairs being served and agreed on interlining so as to provide a wider network choice to passengers.>> ----------- Now only the hidebound military has to get into the co-operative spirit for the sake of the common man. This means sorting out airspace management and airport control issues (at civil enclaves like Dabolim) on a "war footing" and not by dithering, delaying, disputing and deferring ad infinitum!
