Gulf liners take Adani over Mumbai capacity cuts, warn of Hajj disruption | Today’s news
Abhishek Law has spent 18 years in journalism, which in news industry terms means he’s survived several newsroom restructurings, countless “urgent” press releases and more cups of tea than he can reasonably count. Based in New Delhi, he covers aviation for Mint, a sector where aircraft, oil prices, geopolitics and airline CEOs regularly conspire to make his life interesting.
He spends most of his time translating aviation jargon such as ASKs, yields, load factors and fleet strategy into language that doesn’t require a pilot’s license. His motto is simple: if readers need a glossary, he hasn’t done his job properly.
Most days, the quad tracks airline strategies, policy changes and the occasional flight disruption that suddenly become the story of the stock market. When the planes act on their own (which doesn’t happen very often these days), they wander into other corporate beats like steel trying to figure out what’s really going on.
He loves to talk, especially to ask questions – another question that makes people uncomfortable, and saving contacts in the phone as “Resource who may or may not pick up calls”.
But frankly, the goal remains simple: cut through the jargon, find more detail, and turn complicated business stories into something you can actually enjoy.
