Currently, 14 airports are operated by private operators under PPP, and only three airports—Cochin, Bangalore and Hyderabad—were profitable in FY 2022-23. Meanwhile, 25 airports are proposed to be leased out from 2022 to 2025 under the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP). . . . . . . . . . . #jaipur #ahmedabad #mangaluru #lucknow #cochin #bangaloreairport #hyderabad #thiruvananthapuram #guwahati #aai #publicprivatepartnership #trivandrum #airportsauthorityofindia #flightstoindia #travelnews #travelnewsindia #traveldeals #newyeartravel #vacationpackage #cheaphotels #indianairports

✈ The shift of Passenger Load factor has happened in the Aviation Space ✈ In April 2024, the total number of passengers carried by Indian domestic airlines increased 2.4% YoY to 132 lakhs 📍 🎡 This above data is significant to prove that the shift has happened not only from other Airlines but also from Rail transport to Airlines. I further digged to fetch which are the Airlines that was able to acquire this Load Factor. 🎡 Air India Limited and Star Air are the main airlines that have influenced this factor. Now the suprising part is that Passenger carried by Air India has increased by 68% YoY while Star Air has carried 178%. Due to this increase both these Companies were able to increase their market share by 1.3% in total. Yet, the majority of the market share in the aviation for domestic airlines stands with IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation Ltd) at 57%. 🎡 Sanjay Ghodawat Group owns the Star Air Business and as its part of the #UDAN Scheme of the Central Government, it helped to connect passengers regionally. The airline currently operates a fleet of 5 Embraer E145 and 4 E175 aircraft from its two operational bases, Bengaluru Airport (BLR) and Belagavi Airport (IXG) to 22 destinations across India that include: Ahmedabad, Ajmer (Kishangarh), Indore, Jodhpur, Kalaburagi, Mumbai, Surat, Tirupati, Jamnagar, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Bhuj, Kolhapur, Jaipur, Adampur, Nanded, Shivamogga, Goa and Pune. It will be interesting to see the aviation space, if Star Air further expands to gain a market share or plays around with existing fleets and gives quality to its flyers. #aviation #starair #sanjayghodawat #indigo #airindia 🪴

Traveling & staying across India’s diverse cities is an adventure, and a key part of the journey is knowing how to address auto drivers. Few of my personal experiences from Kolkata, Mumbai, Guwahati and Bangalore: Kolkata: Go with “Dada” or “Bhai” when addressing your auto driver. Avoid: Saying “Uncle” – trust me, you’ll get some playful taunts! I learned this the hard way when I tried it out, though he was too old to be called as Dada. Mostly sharing autos are available. Guwahati - Always over priced & hardly available, Toto's are better.'Dada' is best to get Toto. Mumbai: Winning Words: Stick with “Dada” or “Bhau” & always on Meter. Lesson Learned: I once used “Bhaiya” and got a memorable lesson on 'why not address him as a Bhaiya' from the driver himself. Bangalore: Respectful Route: “Sir” works wonders here. Why It Works: Despite my very limited Kannada knowledge, the drivers have always shown respect and even shared valuable lessons, like understanding of P&L on running a business as well. That was Uber Auto experience though. #Learnings #Bangalorestoies #stories #everydaysession
