The plans below are a bit dated but they are on the airport's website. Jewar does not look like a big transit facility. Seems more like a supplement to the exiting Indira Gandhi International Airport. Zurich AG is claiming to make it a transit hub for Asia Pacific but our location and our...

Good start, but a long way to go. India's airport commercials are designed around the origin-destination (OD) format of passengers with complex transit rules beyond those from adjoining countries like Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. Several things need to be considered before trying this stunt...

GAGAN is not an indigenous navigation system. As the name suggests, it is a signal augmentation system of the existing GPS access. Basically, it is used to enhance GPS signals in areas of interest. NavIC when developed fully (global coverage), will be an indigenous navigation system like...

Dornier are multirole planes. What are the chances that HAL could add floats to them and use them as amphibious passenger planes? I once took a Jal Hans flight in Andaman (DHC-6) and it was quite pleasant. Dornier aircraft wold do well as seaplanes.

The civil aviation sector could do with more concessionaires. Handing everything to GMR, GVK and Adani isn't going to be good for passengers.

Kunal, what say that this aircraft could be damn useful for BSF and Coast Guard (with seaplane modifications)?

Mahindra Aerospace said this week its new five-seat airplane, which would be India's first indigenous GA aircraft, is expected to fly for the first time next month. According to Indian news sources, the NM5-100 will sell for "20 percent less than a similar aircraft from Cessna." The company has...
