aviation fact-checks

This can only be done by Gautam Adani, no one else would dare. Mumbai handles 30% of India's entire air cargo. And it all comes from one airport. Gautam Adani said, I'm building a new airport in Navi Mumbai. I'm investing so much in the cargo terminal there. You're saying we won't operate from there? Why? Because there's no connectivity. How will we do it? So Adani said, the airport in Mumbai, I'm shutting it down. I won't handle cargo. Bye-bye to 30% of India's cargo. This happened in May. Because at that time, they said the airport would open in August. So they were told, boss, it will shut down in August. Then there was backlash, they saw the airport wasn't getting completed, so they took it back. Now, when the airport finally opens on the 25th, on December 25th, they've announced these things again. For 10 months, if cargo movement doesn't happen from Mumbai's main airport and starts from Navi Mumbai, what investment will other companies have to make there? They've already done it. They won't come back in 10 months. It's a very intelligent play. They are using their monopoly appropriately. Because they operate both airports. Mumbai's aviation ecosystem is facing a monopoly. This is how it looks.
