22 x ATR72-600s. In case you missed the fine print, Allied Air Services aka AI(Regional) is not for sale.

Even long haul fleet is getting old.

We Indians have become quite used to dysfunctional government run entities.Why do you think we long queues for immigration at major airports? Lack of manpower - yet another shortcoming of he government. Do you imply that if DEL/BOM were to be brought under AAI control the queues would magically disappear? I have wasted my hours at small AAI airports too - TRZ for instance is a sardine can at peak hours, and the airport handles barely 1.5m pax a year.

DEL's rise since 2010 has been meteoric: from 44th rank to 16th rank 7 years.

The coverage areas map showed that connectivity is available globally except over the Arctic and a select few countries - including India. I was earlier under the impression that only Indian carriers or aircraft flying from/to India are disallowed from offering in flight WiFi. Turns out Indian bureaucracy bars any aircraft from offering in flight WiFi while overflying Indian airspace! How stupid is that.

How can T3 be expanded?
Wouldn't increasing the gates take over the taxiway?

Weren't they meant for VVIP's?

It weirdly hasn't been announced publicly, but the route is bookable on the website, and upon a wikipedia search, an Italian newspaper has been cited as a source.

So by April-May 2021 total terminal capacity will be 26.5+25 MPPA= 50MPPA. Which is more than enough. Plus the current Terminal will become Domestic Only terminal & T2 will become an integrated terminal handling both Intl & dom pax. Similar to BOM T2 & DEL T3...
Regarding masterplan, its been revised. There will be a 3rd Terminal(T3) which will be a 15MPPA terminal & located behind TAJ Hotel. This is will be built after T2 gets overcapacity.
Will put up the masterplan at the right time.

So the T4/T5/T6 plans are dead? I had thought that the stupid requirement for transit visas would be lifted when T4 would be constructed as there would be a sterile terminal building for the connecting passengers.
On a related note, does anyone know if it is the Ministry of Defence or the Ministry of Home Affairs that wants to keep transit visas?
