  • Indian Aviation Sector: the Parallel Rise & Fall
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 11, November-2019 153 ISSN 2229-5518 Indian Aviation Sector: The Parallel Rise & Fall Aishani Singh, Shounak Sengupta Abstract- This paper explores profuse reports, statistics, and published papers concerned with the Indian aviation sector from pre-1991 era to the current scenario. With a brief history on the pre-1991 operations in the sector and its players, a detailed outlook on the policy changes of 1991 along the lines of liberalization, open sky policy, green field airport, and FDI is provided. The paper’s cynosure lies on the growth of the aviation sector post-1991 and comparing it with the current failing state of the sector, which is paradoxical. The concurrent rise in demand and fall in supply of the aviation sector is attributed to high taxation on fuel, poor infrastructure, cut-throat competition, a 49% cap on FDI, political interference, incomplete disinvestment, and red tapism. These factors are scrutinized taking examples of Jet Airways, Air India, IndiGo and more, with an aim to provide the reader an insight on where the industry has gone wrong since the post-1991 phase. Keywords- Indian aviation, liberalization, failing state, Jet Airways, IndiGo, Air India _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INDIAN AVIATION SECTOR: THE PARALLEL from Allahabad to Naini on the occasion of the Kumbh RISE & FALL Mela. The first international flight soon followed in December 1912, over the route of London-Karachi-Delhi as The Indian Aviation Sector has been subjected to major a result of collaboration between the Indian state air reforms and policy changes since its beginning in 1911.
