The Industry of Passenger Transport and Cabin in Bengalur was hit by the terrorist attack of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir and the subsequent Sindoor operation, which led to a temporary closure of 32 Indian airports until 15 May, until 15 May until 15 May to 15 May to 15 May.
Given that both countries have reached an agreement to stop military operations on Saturday evening, the industry hoped that the airport would be reopened, but the violation of Pakistan was caused by anxiety on Saturday evening.
President K. Radhakrishn Holl in an interview with the Hindu President of Karnataka Association (Kstoa) said the situation is now reminiscent of COVID-19 locations. “We have previously acquired many passengers from the airport. Now, with most closed airports with North Indian airports, passengers’ movement significantly decreased, although Bengalur Airport worked normally. Demand for cabins, especially premium services, has currently decreased drastically.
Mr. Holla added that while the security situation requires these measures, prolonged disruption could have devastating economic consequences for this industry.
“It’s okay that business is now boring because it is a matter of national security. But if it continues for a long time, it will affect a large -scale transport business. Adding is a diplomatic gradient of Pakistan that receives voice support from Azerbaijan and Türkiy. Ministers about the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Lakshadweep began at the beginning of 2024, ”he said.
Airport cabin drivers, many of which rely only on stable flight operations for their daily earnings, are particularly hard to hit. Prakash R., a taxi driver who has worked at the airport over the past six years, said, “I desperated at least four trips a day from the airport.
Another driver, Mahadevappa KN, who runs a premium SUV cabin, said the luxury segment was the worst. “Business travelers and top tourists were our main customers. Now there is nothing. Some drivers have switched to everyday rentals for corporate employees, but that does not require the same income. We are still paying EMI for our vehicles and fuel prices have not fallen.
