Indian Civil Aviation Industry
Abstract:
The Indian Civil Aviation Industry is the 9th largest in the world with 15 scheduled operators and 118 non scheduled operators. The anticipated CAGR for 2010-2013 is 16% owing to skilled labor and favorable business environment.
The growth of the aviation industry can be attributed to factors such as buoyant economy, higher disposable incomes, increase in corporate travels, growth in spending on leisure tourism-related travels, wider availability of low fares, etc. However, there are host of factors that hamper the growth of the industry like capacity and infrastructure related constraints, rising fuel cost, taxing the industry, unfair price war between carriers, etc. A number of measures related to the aviation infrastructure has been taken up:- 1) Development of capital intensive greenfield airports under PPP mode 2) Modernization of Delhi and Mumbai as well as non-metro airports, etc to address the infrastructure issues. 3) Consolidation drives in the industry are expected to provide the benefits such as increased economies of scale, rationalization of resources, and prevent further losses in the coming years. 4) Corrective measures such as rationalization of tax on ATF and rationalization of ticket pricing need to be pursued to put the Indian aviation industry on the path of sustainable growth

In UK, one of its contributions to the economy is its role in increasing jobs, whereas it was reported that aviation directly provided 180,000 jobs in the UK in 1998 - 0.8% of total employment. 40% of these jobs were in Greater London, where the industry accounted for 2.1% of all jobs (2002). This has increased over the years as attested by DfT. It reported that the aviation industry now directly supports around 200,000 jobs, and indirectly up to three times as many (2006).…

    The airline industry is one that is both costly and necessary to the economy. Costly because of the funding provided by the government, recent layoffs; which has a hand in rising inflation, dealing with negative externalities and high security risks; necessary because the ease and speed of air travel is needed to keep countries productive and competitive. It is a key component to the economy. Many businesses rely on air transportation as well as consumers and individuals employed within the industry. Without this form of accelerated transportation, production necessary for economic growth would decelerate. Businesses would not be able to meet supply demands.…

    Delhi Airport Report

    Executive Summary This document discusses about the current state of Delhi and Mumbai International Airports and their recent decision to hike the Airport Development Fee to increase their revenues and meet their expenses including interest cost for capital incurred towards Airport Development and Modernization and the revenue share with the Airports Authority of India. Taking the case of Delhi airport, we believe that the step taken to increase passenger fees, which has been approved by Aviation regulator AERA (Airports Economic Regulatory Authority) will be levied from May 15th onwards is another retrograde step taken to distress the aviation sector further. It will make air travel in and out of Delhi Airport more expensive. Considering the present state of the Aviation sector, any further cost increases are only likely to make the Indian aviation sector more expensive. Our policy makers continue to suffer from the myopia of viewing Aviation as a luxury rather than a necessity. This is evident from the high taxation of various airport services including ATF. Mumbai and Delhi Airports too have been built at a substantially higher cost compared to the original planned modernization costs. This has been due to delays in awarding the OMDA (Operations, Management and Development Agreement) and higher construction costs than planned. While Airports need to recover their capital and operations costs, they need not raise their charges to an extent that it drives airlines and flyers, their primary users and customers away from the airport, which many international airlines are currently threatening. Instead of increasing…
