Thanks for posting the article first off Cyril
Yes Airbus will do well in the future. Reasons being why airlines prefer it is more technical in nature-
Crew Compatibility with A318-A321 version series
Crew adaptability to flying A330s in 1 week
Fuel Efficient IAE and CFM engines
Airbus Neo also known as the A320NGs of the future
Design correction for fly by wire system with more engineering friendly concepts on the NEO
We all are just negative in mindset. India cannot do this, India cannot do that. This sucks, that sucks.
Once, all indian airports used to suck. Today, corporate governance takes more responsibility in building projects and every construction company understands that Future BID it needs, so it works on building better airports. The major enhancement that Delhi has is its 3 lane push back taxi system which no other airport has.
Next, being late is worrisome, but it removes many errors that airport may have. Take the example of Delhi International, who can point out those innovative design concepts Delhi has that major International Airports do not have. Lets start from the Ground itself.
Who in this forum can tell all of us, what designs Delhi has that it has taken from its peers both domestic and International.
- I just gave you a 3 lane taxi system.
Good Luck
