            Have you heard the news about the passenger who got violently removed from his seat because his flight was overbooked?
            Pretty much a man was violently dragged from his seat, due to United Airlines overbooking the seats. The video of this incident has gone viral. In the video you can see the guards aggressively grabbing and dragging the innocent passenger along the aisle of the plane. It was horrible; the man’s face was bleeding.

              What DO YOU say about Overbooking of Flights?

              IATA’s point of view:- “Airlines should be allowed to continue long-established overbooking practices. The airline business is unique in that once a flight takes off, the seats on that flights are no longer available for sale; it is a time-sensitive, perishable product,”

              It is not a good idea to over book flights..

                Big opportunity for Jet Airways and Air India.

                    Emirates to cut US flights after Trump travel restrictions
                    http://www.bbc.com/news/business-39640473
                    Cutbacks come after President Donald Trump's controversial travel bans target Middle East.

                      Yes, and it would be a good mini hub for LCC operations to GCC and South East Asia, given its proximity to Colombo city.

                      Last month UAE announced that they will start offering VOA for Indian passport holders who are either US Green card holders or have a valid B1/B2.

                      If they expand this to include SL, there will be a lot of new traffic created to UAE. Other GCC countries typically follow the lead of the UAE, so it is only a matter of time before this becomes a GCC-wide offering (except for perhaps KSA).

                        I am pretty sure the reason BA selected Shannon for the tech stop (as opposed to any other point along the TATL routing) was the pre-clearnace.
                        ^^^That is correct

                        on side note LCY has a short runway compared to RML

                        i.e. RML - BAH or RML to SIN is a possibility

                            For time sensitive passengers flying out of LCY (instead of LHR) pre-clearance is a huge draw.
