    Dear Sri Mallya, I am a retired Bank Officer of Syndicate Bank. I am happy to see the launching of air flight to London. I am extreamly happy with the services rendered by the people at the booking counter, craft crew, seating arrangements, time maintrenance, etc. You are aware that a large part of INDIAN NRIs are working in USA and Canada and the present flight to LONDON covers only the halfway to USA/Canada and it may become a little inconvincing to go by this flight to USA/CANADA.

    I have seen your foresight in all your ventures and I hope Lord Venkataramana and Lord Sri Krishna will be with you in succeeding to get the permission from Govt. of India for a full flight from India to USA/Canada. Further, at present, fare concession is permitted to Senior Citizens in National flights and You may kindly look into this aspect and see whether any concession can be given to Inter- national passengers also. Thanking you,

    Dear Mr. Vijay Mallya, Very happy for you and for the people of India.. We used to always use Singapore Airlines/Malaysian Airlines/etc etc to travel as we didnt have proper flights in our country. Now we are proud and happy that we can travel by our own country flights .. Hats Off to you.... Just a request, if you could keep this in mind, will be very happy ..

    We are in the 21st centtury, our country has progressed so much that they are predicting it to be a super-power by 2025.. Could be true, the way its progressing ... But the poor are still poor, so are our roads and other infrastruture because of the corruption etc. If "POWERFUL" people like you and other other Big companies join together, you can make India look more beautiful than it is.. so please if you could keep this in mind and you all great and powerful people could work "a little" will make wonders..

    Just a reminder : "A pinch of salt makes the most important thing while cooking - it gives TASTE" I always think, if only god had given me money and power to do something, I would have worked for the betterment of this "Our country" .. and I am sure there are heaps of other youths who think alike me ... Lets all work together to make India "the best from better" .... Thanks... Rohit

    Congrats Vijay Mallya. Keep the good work and I wait for your flight in Canada. We don't have to use other airlines. I really appreciate your entrepreneurial spirit. As our national airline’s service is substandard surely you’d stand better money for quality.
