Southern Indian airfields may not be tricky / dangerous , but the operation to most of them favoured by most of the Gulf carriers makes them difficult .
Report about 0100 local , depart about 0215 , arrive with sun in your eyes , and if weather is bad , by the time you have landed and had your dose of adrenalin , what you would like to do is report to the nearest hotel . But no , you now have to get yourself up for a 0700 - 1030 return flight , often with Etops etc , get back to ME in the heat , then try to sleep so you can do it all over again that night .
I have been to MAA in daylight when the weather is appalling , but the whole experience is so much easier than during the graveyard shift .
