Why are the airline companies complaining - are they afraid that the threat of a bombing is being ''advertised'' by the fact that Bangla Rd. is closed and hence putting fear in the minds of tourists?

I was thinking the same thing!
When i was there last i prefered Bangla being closed, as i could use the road to avoid my cheeks being pulled. But i can see locals having a problem with access, especially bg's who now have to walk down.
I can't see why the airlines are complaining. If i didnt read this site i would have no idea about it being closed, therefore how advertised is this?
I thought that a good compromise would be to have it open Sunday to Friday afternoon, but then closed Saturday and Sunday nights!
