OK. This is not good for railways and it should try something as soon as possible. My friend and his family were planning to travel to Bangalore and asked my advice about trains. I advised them about Rajdhani and Duronto Express from Delhi but the fare of flights are less compared to 3AC of Rajdhani and Duronto. So, they decided to fly rather than spend long hours in trains. In short, this is not just a single case and they should prevent passengers from shifting to flights.

There is a lot of crony capitalism in aviation. All these big airports gets crores of subsidies and tax breaks, though they are perfectly capable of making profit with no tax breaks.
In smaller airports the land acquired from farmers at a nominal rate is sold cheaply to cronies who build airports and used excess land for commercial venture. That airport due to less demand remains almost defunct. Again govt. gives subsidies and a lot of tax breaks to bail them out. This surge pricing too is push towards aviation.

agree once one gets the taste for flying the option of train travel looks abhorring. But govt. takes us tax payers for a ride in promoting aviation.
