Devesh,

Noted yr article - very well written, & hope they work on it fast & do not have to play 'catch up' games, as things have always been in bangalore on every front, be it airports, roads, transport, etc.

Mr. Devesh,

Thanks for the update on the cargo side of the BIAL. Hope it will be pleasing to the eyes of Mr. Brunner.

 Taking your pitch for keeping the HAL airport open, Is it economically viable to make the HAL airport Cargo only? May be it is too late now? But as an option what is your take on this?

Regards,

Syed

in my view, or understanding, Cargo is largely carried in passenger planes - maybe not all but I have seen a lot go in the SQ and EK flights. Even BA and AF have cargo containers waiting (basically the wide bodies have place for cargo) But there are a few airlines withcargo only planes (LH flies a DC12, EK flies a 747...) I also think this is one of the main revenues so I dont think BIAL will give it up so easily

SEZ near airport

As one SEZ has been approved near the airport, would it be easier for BIAL to build/develop anything related to its business? (something like a free trade center Devesh mentions in his above blog)
