well, i guess people who find $200 for a manhattan-to-jfk helicopter ride "very affordable" are in the target audience for air deccan's proposed $100 helicopter shuttle between bangalore's new airport and downtown :-) http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/05/21/asia/airport.php?page=2 "Gopinath is in favor of keeping the old airport open, insisting that a private monopoly is by nature "a monster." Even so, the day the new airport opens, he will offer a helicopter shuttle for commuters who cannot afford to sit in traffic. It will cost a little more $100 and take 10 minutes to reach the city." -rishab
