Avoid Incredible India

Avoid landing in India at all costs!

I once met a chap in the airport operations at Calcutta
who was flying a C150 from Australia to the UK.

(I had diverted a corporate jet there and was doing my own handling.)

He was counting out $10,000 in $100 bills to pay for the India handling charges alone.

I doubt the aircraft was worth that

My handling bill after doing the Calcutta airport marathon - about $250.

Good luck
