These cuts make me wonder if it these airlines were making big bucks all these years when they could have offered lower airfares.
I always thought the exorbitant fares were due to high landing fees.

Kingfisher dont have plans to take in ATRs. Nor do i think ATR pilots can fly the A320.
AD and Jet are the only ATR operators in India
