Any updates in the Air India saga?
They now go direct from India. Full stop.
Why are people still expecting this to happen? Why would they go from direct back to a stop in Europe?
-The Pre border clearance is no use to them, as there will be no time saved, as it will take longer to decend, unload, reload, take off than it will to go direct and add to that possible hold times.
-Cost more due to an extra set of landing fees for DUB and more fuel
-There is no real traffic prospect to pick up from from DUB, BHX for example can offer 2-3 times more traffic than BUD could.
Surely now it is time this one was buried???
