ASN. Union Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu said that it would be unwise to jump to any conclusions based on the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau’s preliminary report regarding the Ahmedabad plane crash. Making any comments until the final report comes out is not a good exercise. While inaugurating the ten new commercial flights from Hindon Civil Terminal, Gaziabad, the union minister slammed western media and said that they may have a vested interest in the kind of articles they are trying to publish. He praised AAIB for decoding the black box in India itself.
The Union Minister said that direct air service from Hindon Terminal to ten major cities of the country has started today. These include Bengaluru, Kolkata, Varanasi, Indore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Patna, Goa and Mumbai. All these flights will now be available directly from Ghaziabad so that the passengers of the region will not have to depend on Delhi Airport. He added that flight services from Hindon Terminal will open a new door of development not only for the NCR region but also for the entire Western Uttar Pradesh.
