Customs should tell us how the small fire at 4 am couldn't be controlled and how it spread out like this.
Like seriously? The rumours are not helping matters either.

That whole area has wood paneling which was all the rage in 19-whenever JKIA was built but very unsuitable today. I also doubt very much that there is a in-built fire suppressant system in the entire airport.

My take:

- this is Pattni revenging
- where are those guys who were saying JKIA is world class? A major airport without fire control?
- soon the fire brigades will run out of water...just watch!


It does not matter who is doing what, or the cause at this point, most important thing is we should be prepared to deal with the worst. Someone at that Airport takes home some big bucks, awards contracts to their cronies to supply garbage, must have stolen everything including the fire suppressors, extinguishers and even the fire engine, and ignores all roles he is paid to perform. Coz fire getting to that magnitude at such a high security level facility at peak just doesn't make sense.

I don't think we are ready, this more than anything makes me really doubt our organisational capacity as a race/people. I bet nobody at KAA gets fired. And I am not even going into the "do the honourable thing and resign" as would be expected everywhere else in the world.



i agree

Surely JKIA must have smoke detectors and fire sprinklers linked to their alarm system.

The whole scenario looks very suspicious to me .JKIA duty free, fuel, huge fire all within a few days. Convince me otherwise
