Air India requires Financial Guarantees from Surat

Financial guarantee tor providing flights
In a first of its kind for domestic aviation in India, Air India has asked a city for financial guarantee to enhance air connectivity. The fliers from Surat were elated by news published that Air India will deploy an Airbus A320 equipment during evenings in addition to the CRJ700 service operated six days a week by its subsidiary Alliance Air DBA Air India Regional. What the newspapers have not reported is the financial strings attached to this announcement.

There are theories and conspiracy theories on why Surat is not getting its due as far as air connectivity is concerned. We have with us raw footage in six parts of an interview held by documentary film maker late Shalin Shelat for the "Our Surat" documentary. Some of the clips from these footage have been included in the documentary. We have placed all of them in this blog post.
