3)An increase of 25000 rupees per landing is estimated
4) But the airlines feel that the rush cannot be avoided in these hours.
5) Work should begin for developing new runways.
6) Flights get delayed, because airports cannot handle so much aircraft movement.
7)Wastage of ATF while the planes circle over airports waiting to land or while taxing long distances from the bay to the runways.
