Bombay is somewhat like Sicily of Italy, a big presence of mafia. It was claimed that 9W was getting financial aid from the mafia in Bombay, hence the investigation by US.
9W was to start this service in 2005, but then a company by the same name in US claimed that 9W had links with the underworld in India. So an investigation has been the cause of this delay.
Starting straight away with a 150 seater seems like an over-ambitious shot, but then again i wont be surprised if they succeed in doing it. It would have to battle hard to break the current monopoly though.
The state of the Russian domestic airlines doesen’t seem to be too healthy. People keep criticizing the state of the airline industry in Africa, i don’t see how the EU has taken up this issue yet with Moscow.
Biman has had massive maintenance problems. India has in the recent past thought of banning Biman from Indian skies due to unpaid maintenance bills, as there aircraft always seemed to have some problem or the other, for which Air India mechanics were called in every time.
