In this issue
Cruising Heights’ September issue looks at the Adani Group taking over six major airports in the country. The group has also got the Mumbai International Airport. The Cover Story discusses what’s in store for the Adani group and the challenges and competition it faces as it takes its first step in its journey in the aviation sector. In addition, there is an indepth story on how global air travel is changing in unimaginable ways as the world stars emerging from the pandemic. And, it has been one step forward and two backward for the country’s domestic carriers ever since the government allowed commercial services to start. However well-intentioned the move by the aviation ministry to cap fares may have been, it has posed huge challenges for carriers. Though air cargo has become a lifeline for the country, the lifting of lockdowns and restrictions has not lessened the woes of the country’s freight forwarders. From the east to the west, north to south, forwarders are braving it out to keep the wheels of the exim trade moving. Plus: All our regular features.
