Welcome in Regional Language when plane lands in an Indian City

The Issue

Every time I land in Chennai I get greeted in English (Welcome to Chennai) / or if I end up travelling within the country and use Air-India (get greeted in Hindi) - which is great, However it makes a lot sense to greet first in Tamil (or) whatever the local language of the region is: landing in Hyderabad, (greet in Telugu), Karnataka (Kannada), Gujarat (Gujarati) and more.

This will help in preserving the culture of our State. This will also assist in creating more local jobs.  This is nothing new in the rest of the world. You travel to China, Middle East/ anywhere in the world, you get greeted in their local language.

The uniqueness of India is about the different cultures, languages & people. This should reflect the very first time we / any visitor who visits us lands in any city of India. This could seem to be a trivial thing, however small things like this which may not be hard to enforce, makes a big difference and creates a lot of good will.
