Today the large airports along America's coasts are clogged with air traffic when approximately half of its 300 million or so people are potential market size for the country's airlines.
Now that includes over 50 large metro locations with fairly modern airline handling capabilities.
Can you imagine what happens in India if this ratio holds?
We have about 10 large airports in total in the whole of the country and a population that is exponentially growing in terms of being able to afford air travel.
One can imagine the airways buzzing with planes like mosquitoes over an open drain. Pilots will soon want planes whose windows can slide open since they would prefer to yell at other pilots and very loud horns to alert them about their oncoming jet.
Very soon there will be an airborne strip mall to cater to clogged planes hovering in air with chutes to deliver chana and vadas. Not to mention bottled water. Hope the toilet situation does not mimic the ones on the high speed trains (or slow moving if you are unlucky) that criss cross the country now.
