By now it is evident that it is not only the flawed business models of the Indian carriers but also skewed government policies which have led to the present morass in the civil aviation sector. However, it is still not too late to salvage the situation, but for that, a comprehensive policy direction is needed by the government to address the prevailing crisis and lay a path for future growth. There is indeed an urgent need for the government to create an industry-friendly and financially pragmatic environment in the civil aviation sector. First and foremost, the government should get over the bo- gey of ‘security risks’ and allow foreign airlines to enter the Indian civil aviation market. A liberal FDI regime would pave the way for foreign airlines to participate in India’s aviation sector and strengthen it. The government should seriously consider allowing foreign airlines to invest up to 49 per cent at least in the cash-starved domestic air carriers. Then there is the issue of ATF prices in India which are amongst the highest in the world.
