Most observes and analysts are optimistic about the prospects of the industry not only for the airline industry but also for business aviation as evident from the interview with Gilles Gautier, Vice President International Sales Dassault Falcon Jet Corporation, included in this issue. Writing from Bengaluru, A.K. Sachdev analyses the pros- pects for Regional Aviation in India and observes that the gov- ernment has been tardy in taking steps to promote regional avi- ation. Tragically, there appears to be no visible sense of urgency in the establishment to exploit this segment of civil aviation. In the final analysis, regional aviation in India is yet to take off. However, despite the situation being not entirely favourable for the airline industry and especially for regional aviation in India, a new player, low-cost carrier Air Costa, has emerged on the scene. Launched by a Vijaywada-based LEPL Projects, Air Costa seeks to exploit regional routes where the intensity of competi- tion would be lower. Air Costa is optimistic about the changes in the operating environment and the several steps that the gov- ernment is taking to promote regional aviation. The low-cost JAYANT BARANWAL carrier is hopeful that these will eventually facilitate matters for PUBLISHER & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF the industry. www.sps-aviation.com ISSUE 12 • 2013 3 News with views NEWS: MOD TO SEEK OPINION OF LAW MINISTRY ON VVIP HELICOPTER DEAL The Indian Defence Ministry will seek Ministry’s opinion would be studied first the opinion of the Law Ministry on the before any decision is taken on the deal.
