A host of foreign companies are in talks with the Indian government for selling B150, a tough short-haul plane ideal for connectivity of smaller towns which is lacking in India at present.
(A) B150 planes have not only low operating costs than competing planes like Cezana but also a much better track record in terms of safety and efficiency.
(B) The profit margin of road transport operators in the smaller towns connected by B150 planes has been reduced substantially as a majority of people prefer air transport over other means of transport.
(C)Smaller towns at present, are better connected by roads and railways as compared to flight services.
(D)B150 planes are capable of operating in sectors where large airlines cannot fly due to challenging conditions such as mist short runways etc.Such planes can also double up as cargo planes and charter flights for the rich and the elite
(E)B150 planes need to operate in the existing airports which are situated in bigger cities only and are poorly connected to the smaller cities.
