Devesh, How can we help BIAL to fix Cargo Bunglings !
Devesh,
Went thru your post on incomplete Cargo (rather shambles) infrastructure. Since it is still in construction stages, is there way, we can help/motivate/watch to ensure that BIAL does the right thing on Cargo side? Basically whether we have still time to fix the cargo shambles? If yes, how?

BIAL fixing the warehouses
Technically, it is not BIAL's problem. They gave the concession to Menzies and AI-SATS and they are responsible.
As an importer or exporter the airport HAS to have the terminal ready. Would you be ready to fly out of BIAL if the passenger terminal is in this shape.
Menzies is only 90% ready.
The worst part of it -- I organised an open house with Customs, BIAL, Menzies, AI-SATS more than 1 month ago. They are on record that the cargo operations are fully ready. Does this imply they came to a public meeting of a Chamber of Industry and lied ?
An airport has to have this FUNDAMENTAL infrastructure before demanding the commencement of operations.
For this week, almost all freighter flights have cancelled their operations to Bangalore.

Motivating BIAL to fix the cargo warehouses
BIAL will have only one motivation. The pocket book.
Either industry stops using the airport, which is unlikely, or then lodges a civil claim on BIAL for any losses or damages that occur. Which will take forever.
They know, that most Bangaloreans only care about a fancy terminal, rest of the airport be damned. So they are getting away with it.
Even the press does not care.

PIL to go on Cargo issue !
Devesh,
Looks like we might be going round and round in fixing the responsibility for this fiasco.
I think the Cargo issue needs a PIL. My suggestion, Lets wait and watch the sitaution for 2 more weeks, if things doesn't improve file a PIL against STA/Menzes, BIAL, Customs and others.
An RTI with Cutsoms should also be filed.
Devesh, take the lead we are with you.
