Great initiative, but I hope the focus isn't just on glamour and shows. The real test is whether this leads to more affordable air travel for the common man and better connectivity to tier-2 and tier-3 cities. The job fair is a good touch.

"Manufacturing hub for aviation" - this is the key phrase. We need to move from being just a large market to actually making planes and components here. Hope the B2B meetings lead to concrete Make in India partnerships.
