Air India

StoneyBridge Radar

The only surprise here is that they have admitted to as many as two make money!!!!!

I think you find most on here argued that there is a market between BHX and India but it is virtually impossible to discuss profitability when it comes to Air India especially if half the rumours are true about their cost-base.

Remember when they last pulled out, the press release stated it was profitable but it was to protect Heathrow slots and then went on to have one of the worse utilisation rates any any long-haul fleet albeit most of that was down to the disastrous 77L order.

If your glass is half-full you could say at least it is not in the list of shame and they have said that they intend to go daily from November but there again it is still only bookable at four a week.
