yeh bengali log padhte nahi kya puri news, jhahil gawar
Woke up to the news of Mumbai shutting it's Domestic airport Terminal 1. Every day it seems authorities brainstorm on how to make lives of people here tougher. Man, loved that airport. There's something about small airports that feel so accessible and convenient. Like you could take a rickshaw to that airport. Ab jao bc Navi Mumbai ko. Kills of literally one of the few remaining good things about Mumbai.

Airlines are businesses. Naturally, they don鈥檛 want the logistical headache of setting up operations across two airports. But Mumbai Airport physically cannot hold everyone.
Why cut international slots to make room? Because T1 is closing for mandatory safety demolition, so ~5M domestic passengers have to move to T2. To fit them, you need gate capacity. An international flight especially wide-bodies blocks parking bays for 2 to 3 hours with heavy cargo and turnaround, while a domestic narrow-body turns around in 45 minutes. Moving 265 international slots to Navi Mumbai frees up the physical gate time needed to absorb that domestic volume.
And don't call it threatning, they gave airlines until Oct 6 to voluntarily choose which slots to move. If airlines refuse to cooperate, the operator has to manually reallocate them, otherwise the entire airport gridlocks on October 26.
Honestly, the operators are making a hard choice for the city's benefit only. Apna hi infrastructure hai, so we have to support the upgrade for our own future.

Mumbai Airport threatens to temporarily discontinue 265 weekly international flights as airlines refuse to shift to Navi Mumbai airport
Adani Group-owned Mumbai International Airport to temporarily discontinue 265 of 770 weekly international departure slots at T2 from October 25
46 airlines affected; IndiGo faces 74 slot reductions, Air India 33, Emirates and Etihad Airways face 10 each
Airport says airlines have time till October 6, to choose which 265 slots they want to temporarily discontinue.
As per MIAL's communication, if airlines don't respond, MIAL will determine the slots itself
From October 26, vacated T2 capacity will be allocated to domestic operators from T1 to accommodate ~5 million passengers shifted from T1

I don鈥檛 think some of you realise what Capt Smit Macchhar has done. Imagine:
> terrorist kills captain
> recreates 9/11 and kills everyone
> Western media hides co-pilot identity
> 1000x more hate on Indians than now
> India gets branded as a terrorist nation
He single handedly averted the biggest national crisis and instead made the world fall in love with India 馃嚠馃嚦

You forgot the most important part of the story, she was killed by Palestinian terrorists.
Neerja Bhanot was a 22 year old flight attendant on a hijacked plane, Pan Am Flight 73 on 5 September 1986 during a stopover
The terrorists demanded her to collect the passports of all the passengers, intending to identify the Americans among them.
Recognising the danger this posed, she and her fellow attendants under her charge hid the passports of the American passengers, some under seats and others down a garbage chute, making it difficult for the hijackers to distinguish between nationalities.
As the hijacking stretched on for 17 hours the terrorists eventually resorted to violence by opening fire and setting off explosives. Chaos erupted inside the aircraft
Neerja opened one of the airplane doors, and even though she could have been the first one to escape from the aircraft, she did not do so and instead started helping the other passengers and unaccompanied children. That is when she was caught and her courage was met with extreme cruelty. She was killed.
Neerja's actions saved many lives.
In addition to saving the lives of many hostages, Neerja Bhanot also helped prevent the plane from getting off the ground
A young child on board, who was just seven years old at the time, grew up to become a captain for a major airline. He credits Neerja as his inspiration, acknowledging that he owes every day of his life to her
