well, if they mean what they say, then its definitely good news right?

Airlines don't know what's going to happen in the next 5 days let alone 5 years. With erratic and unpredictable growth/decline of aviation in India, there is absolutely no certainty in projections reflecting reality.
But in an industry in its infancy where 'planning' is just a buzzword, it can get management steered in the right direction.

So any projections/plans/forecasts are as reliable as the news bulletins on AIR or DD.
