WHAT WILL BE NEXT LOW COST SECURITY????, Every carrier pays hefty Airports charges to the AAI for airport security, so with Low cost airports it is logical for them to pay less for the upkeep of every thing even security ,will airport security be compromised yes it will be with the prevaling business attitude of LCC , you never know every thing is possible here as LCC have in principle never believed in security procedures they believe these procedures hamper there on time performance and security is just an added burden which they have to bear.

BANGALORE: After low-cost flying it’s now low-cost airports. Air Deccan has announced plans to partner with builders to bid for the construction of four low-cost airports in Karnataka. The Karnataka government had recently called for expressions of interest for setting up airports in Hassan, Shimoga, Gulbarga and Bidar.
But the airline did not disclose who they would be tying up with. The partnership with the builder would be based on an assurance from Air Deccan that the latter would ensure regular passenger traffic to these smaller towns.
Air Deccan executive chairman G R Gopinath said his vision is to build no-frills airports at a cost of Rs 20 crore each, compared to the over Rs 300 crore that regular airports cost.
This would mean the airports will not have aerodomes, aircraft push-back vehicles and buses to ferry people from the aircraft to terminal buildings.
Speaking on the sidelines of a press meet to announce a tie up with India Post to sell Air Deccan tickets through post offices, Gopinath said, “These airports will be equipped with all the necessary infrastructure. But the terminal buildings will be smaller and less opulent than airports in a metro. Also the runway will be built to accommodate turbo-propelled aircraft like ATRs.”
