G Mallikarjuna Rao, the GMR chief whose company has won contracts for privatisation of the Delhi, Hyderabad and Istanbul airports, logs at least 100 hours every month flying the Delhi-Mumbai-Hyderabad route on his Falcon 2000.

"Rao spends several hours of waking time in his plane," says an executive of GMR. Two sets of pilots optimise the use of his aircraft.

His Falcon 2000 has the same fuselage width as the Falcon 900B while the cabin is slightly shorter. He also holds meetings aboard his plane.
