At present, the aircraft is the world's fastest means of transport, which is unquestionable. However, with the advancement of science and technology, the advantages of aviation have become less and less obvious. In the past in the passenger's impression, the aircraft is the fastest means of transport, followed by the train, and finally the ship. Since the advent of high-speed rail, the advantages of the aircraft have gradually been disrupted.
Because the aircraft often delays, but the high-speed rail delay probability is also very little, time on time better. With the popularization of high-speed rail, the aircraft have less and less advantages in ticket prices and have to face the pressure of competition from the ever-growing high-speed railway.
The airport is easy to build, but the cost of high-speed rail is relatively high. Therefore, especially in the more remote areas, generally like to build a small airport. However, due to the sparsely populated places, many airports even have no traffic and have gradually become ghost airports.
India's Jaisalmer Airport is the world famous ghost airport, Jaisalmer is India's remote desert town. The airport is designed to handle 300,000 passengers while the new terminal costs $ 17 million and the apron can accommodate three 180-passenger large passenger aircraft.
According to media reports, a passenger at the gate of the new terminal, which has been completed for two and a half years, has no passengers. A group of cleaners sit on the taxiway and listen to music on their mobile phones. The seats in the lobby of the airport were covered with a thick layer of ash, some stains on the walls, and nests of pigeons were built on the roofs. The bones of dead animals were still scattered on the ground at the entrance of the airport, and the atmosphere in the entire area looked gloomy .
Passengers once said that they would drop the luggage on the conveyor belt and would stop midway. Everything seemed gloomy. The airline said it could not attract passengers and could not fly flights. In order to attract passengers, the price of air tickets has even been reduced to a record low, even cheaper than domestic green car train fares, but many passengers still do not buy it. To this end, Indian Airlines annual loss of tens of millions of dollars, the airport has become the epithet, becoming the world's most ghostly ghost airport criticized the world.
