The article reads well and is humurous. But the experience of customers of Airlines is nothing but misery.The cost in a way has come down,but the time taken to reach airports particularly in Bangalore and Hyderabad takes away the very charm of flying.Here they have consulted only politicians and not economists to have air ports far far away from cities. Taxi owners have a good time in these air ports is a fact which cannot be ignored although it adds misery to air travellers.King Fisher a brand got suppport from growing upper middleclass of the society who took it as a pride and prestige to be a frequent flier in that airlines and perhaps enjoyed a bit of nice hospitality and VIP treatment in its initial days.It is a fact King Fisher brought misery and suffering not only for all classes of travellers,but also for the Govt and Public Sector Undertakings which include banks and oil Companies.Flying has become a nightmare for average citizen and even for high class citizens thanks to KF

Response to Mr Gopinath's Article on King Fisher
Dr.T.V.Gopalakrishnan (Mumbai)
The article is to the point and very candid. Mr Vijay Mallya should be sent out from KingFisher Airlines and of course protecting the banks' interest and other stakeholders'interest. The airlines should be handed over to professionals to run the show. Public Money cannot be wasted for a particular individuals' life style and flamboyancy. People are watching and any support with the public funds to the Airlines will incur the wrath of the public and support of the customers. Vijay Mallya can divert the resources from United Breweries and keep himself away from KingFisher. There are professionals who can manage the Airlines better.The potential for Airlines Business is very high in India and needs to be fully exploited. Pricing is an area where more attention is needed and wastage of resources needs to be totally avoided. Instead of extending financial aid to KingFisher, the Govt can think of giving some relief to Airlines in the form of lesser tax and duties on oil, airport charges etc. There is ample scope for rationalisation of costs and make the Airlines business attractive.Market is strong in India and it needs to be supported..
