Indigo: Why India is held hostage by one airline
In the end, Indigo isn’t suffering from bad luck; it’s suffering from good fortune. When you control two-thirds of the market, you start believing gravity doesn’t apply to you – or the DGCA, or the laws of arithmetic, or the number of pilots needed to actually fly planes.
And because no one else wants to burn thousands of crores learning how to run an airline, Indigo has had the sky mostly to itself. Which is why we now have thousands of cancellations and one airline that thinks it can write its own rulebook.
Monopoly, or duopoly if you want to call it that, after all, is the perfect fuel for mayhem.
Of course, the gated community wallahs, living their lives in cocoons built around WhatsApp forwards, stock market gains, conversations on this year we did Turkey-next year we’ll do New Zealand, tu jaanta nahi hai mera baap koun hai, and filtered air, think that’s only true for business.

@pallikaranaii It is good that she is being questioned continuously. I guess with state elections next year they do not want to experience a negative impact on account of what the MP has / has not done.
#Pallikaranai in news !!!
Thank you @the_hindu for covering poor bad condition of Tambaram-Velachery road in Pallikaranai.
Concerned authorities kindly take steps to give quality roads for better travel

❌Councillor Missing!
❌MLA Missing!
❌MP busy elsewhere and will visit only during elections.
When people raise concern, label them, say this is Bihar etc etc. No accountability. Previous Govt didn't care. This Govt doesn't care. Shameful @ThamizhachiTh@S_AravindRamesh
@ArchitectSam76 Automated massive fines are required for wrong side driving, along with seizing of vehicle in the first instance itself. No other way to instill discipline in road users.
