Yes, the Government has decided Air India must be sold by March 2020; so to attract prospective investors Air India must show an increase in profit; charging Rs8000-Rs10,000 for “excess” carry-on bag will score some 1 lakh rupees by March and by erstwhile Indian Airlines measures since the airline was perpetually in the red, this is an advance. So the sales will attract a better deal than was the case when the market was opened and returned weak to no bids last year. There is an American saying: make a dime while the ferry is brinkin’. And yet I am the most ardent customer of Ari India, for international and domestic flights I always take Air India, like direct flights from Delhi to Melbourne, to Sydney, to San Francisco and return. But I don’t approve of the new charges. Since I pay taxes it is as much my airlines.

With other airlines more liberal on hand bags who would like to travel AI. They want to include even laptop in the handbag which is an irony and ridiculous rule but it is there choice as even after doing all these hootch-potch they are still in red as they have ineffective staff. Rather than increasing there efficiency like SouthWest airlines in US they are more concerned on small stuff in gm’s (weight I mean).

Now your staff in the airport will use all their time on handbags. Money !!!!. Money !!!!!! Will Air India inform your staff, that people who comes from Europe and have a domestic flight are allowed to bring 2 x 23 kg in check. They dont know. I have to wait every time in Delhi Airport, waiting for a confirmation from a maneger, and it always ended with a: Sorry sir, you are right. How can it 2 years to inform your staff about these rules !!!!! ????
