Dinesh's view point on India is very interesting and certainly shows that Boeing understands the Indian market pretty well. What I did find intriguing was the following: "Let me tell you two things about trains in India. More people travel in trains, even today, in one day than they travel in airplanes in a whole year. If you took only a small percentage of that population, even 0.1% and moveto airplanes, you get a phenomenal 30% growth rate. But that can only happen if the fares are a little bit higher but not significantly higher." It would seem plausibe then that while air-traffic in India will experience significant growth, railroad traffic will always remain King in the transportation system.
