Mumbai, September 22: Infrastructural bottlenecks in airports force aircraft to hover in the skies for far too long, resulting in a loss of around USD 80 million to the industry every year, a top aviation industry official said.
"Gaps in infrastructure lead to 5-10 per cent more flying time for aircraft, which means a cost of USD 80 million per annum to the airlines," Jet Airways Executive Director Saroj Datta said at a function to mark the 103rd birth anniversary of JRD Tata, leading industrialist and the first Indian to fly an aeroplane.
