There is no commercial jet build in India, and if there where, no one from India would agree to board them.

- 2Gkashmiri 3y agoCorrect. But then again, you don't know the power of the government. Media is paid for and controlled by them to a much wider and expansive degree that they can essentially spin any feel good patriotic story to drum up support. India is HUGE and as they say "ya Sab chalta hai" or in english "everything works here". If some airline bought 50 year old planes and started flying them, people will use it because it would be cheaper.
- samus 3y agoNo matter media control, a high incidence of accidents will be noticed because each plane falling from the skies contains hundreds of people, which is very visible and impactful. Also, planes are still expensive equipment. The crucial difference from train jumping off the rails its that there can in theory be survivors. Also, the train won't start to burn out and it's usually possible to salvage a lot of the equipment.
