The global aviation industry is growing at an average rate of 5% per year over the past 30 years, with substantial variations due to changing economic conditions and different economic growth in different regions. The annual growth in air travel is twice the GDP growth. This airline industry provides service to virtually every corner of the globe and is an integral part of the global economy. Deregulation and Liberalization worldwide: Since the deregulation of the US airlines in 1978, the pressure on the governments to reduce their involvement in the economics of airline competition has spread to most of the world. This US airline deregulation is perceived to be a success by other countries as it benefits a vast majority of travelers. This deregulation saw the entry of many successful new entrants and low-fare airlines which had a great impact on the airline pricing practices and public¶s expectations of a low-priced air travel. But this deregulation also had some negative impacts. The pressure to cut down costs, combined with increasing profit volatility, mergers and bankruptcies of several airlines led to periodic job losses, reduced wages and airline labor unions with less power than they previously enjoyed. Also all travelers did not enjoy the benefit of deregulation equally. ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY- SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AVIATION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2011 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY- SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AVIATION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2011 1.1. INTRODUCTION: The aviation industry in India is one of those sectors that saw a constant pace of growth among other industries in the world over the past many years. The Indian aviation industry has witnessed an impressive growth of around 19%, with major contribution from the civil aviation segment. The government open sky policy has led to many overseas players entering the market and the industry has been growing both in terms of players and aircraft. From being primarily a government owned industry, the Indian aviation industry is now dominated by privately owned full service airlines and low cost carriers. Earlier air travel was a privilege, only few can afford but today air travel has became much cheaper and can be afforded by many people. The Aviation industry in India encompasses a wide range of services related to air transport such as passenger airlines which are scheduled, cargo airlines and unscheduled air operators like private jets and helicopters. This regulation of air transport services to/from/within India and for enforcement of civil air regulations, air safety and airworthiness standards is done by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The DGCA is the regulatory body in the field of Civil Aviation primarily dealing with safety issues and also co-ordinates all regulatory functions with International Civil Aviation Organization. 1.2. GENESIS OF AIRLINES IN INDIA: 1910: The first Indian to have an airplane was the young Maharaja of Patiala, Bhupinder Singh, who sent his Chief Engineer to Europe for a study with orders to buy three planes, including a Bleriot monoplane and Farman biplanes, which arrive in the Punjab later that year. 1912: The first domestic air route between Karachi and Delhi was opened by Indian State Air Service in collaboration with Imperial Airways. 1932: JRD Tata launches first scheduled airline, Tata Airlines, by piloting the first flight himself from Karachi to Mumbai via Ahmadabad on a single-engine. ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY- SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AVIATION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2011 1933: In its first year of operation. Tata Airlines flies 160,000 miles, carries 155 passengers and 10.71 tones of mail. Tata Airlines launches its longest domestic flight: Mumbai to Trivandrum with a six-seater Miles Merlin. 1945: Second domestic airline, Deccan Airways, is founded. Deccan Airways is the first of a bunch of new airlines to serve domestically in India. The first services began in July 1946. 1946: Tata Airlines changes its name to Air India. 1947: Air India signs an agreement with the government of India to operate international services with a weekly flight from Bombay to London via Cairo and Geneva. 1953: Indian Airlines formed by merging eight independent domestic airlines; Deccan Airways, Airways India, Bharat Airways, Himalayan Aviation, Kalinga Air Lines, Indian National Airways, Air India, Air Services of India,. Air India International takes over the international routes. 1960: India enters the jet age with an Air India B707; USA and India are connected for the first time with an Indian airline. 1990: East West Airlines becomes the first private airline after the government decided to end Indian Airlines monopoly over domestic civil aviation. 2003: Air Deccan, India¶s first ever budget airline begins operations on 25th August from Bangalore to Mangalore. 2004: On August 26, Air Deccan launched its A320 flights on the Delhi- Bangalore route. ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY- SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AVIATION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2011 1.3. ORIGIN OF AIRLINES IN INDIA: The concept of Airline came in mid 19th century when Rufus Porter and Frederick Marriott, an American started an airline in the form of airship. However, their attempt was floundered due to mishap in the airship catching fire. Later in 1909, with the assistance from the government, German based DELAG was the first one to operate airline successfully. India was also one of the first countries to embrace civil aviation. One of the first West Asian airline companies was Air India, which had its beginning as Tata Airlines in 1932, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). The airline was founded by India's leading industrialist, JRD Tata. On October 15, 1932, J. R. D. Tata himself flew a single engine De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi to Mumbai via Ahmadabad. The aircraft continued to Madras via Bellary piloted by Royal Air Force .Tata Airlines was also one of the world's first major airlines which began its operations without any support from the Government.

  • Recent Trend in Indian Air Transport with Reference to Transport Economics and Logistic
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Recent Trend in Indian Air Transport with Reference to Transport Economics and Logistic Dr Vijay Kumar Mishra, Lecturer (Applied Economics), S.J.N.P.G College, Lucknow Air transport is the most modern means of transport which is unmatched by its speed, time- saving and long- distance operation. Air transport is the fastest mode of transport which has reduced distances and converted the world into one unit. But it is also the costliest mode of transport beyond the reach of many people. It is essential for a vast country like India where distances are large and the terrain and climatic conditions so diverse. Through it one can easily reach to remote and inaccessible areas like mountains, forests, deserts etc. It is very useful during the times of war and natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, famines, epidemics, hostility and collapse of law and order. The beginning of the air transport was made in 1911 with a 10 km air mail service between Allahabad and Naini. The real progress was achieved in 1920 when some aerodromes were constructed and the Tata Sons Ltd. started operating internal air services (1922). In 1927 Civil Aviation Department was set up on the recommendation of Air Transport Council. Flying clubs were opened in Delhi, Karachi, Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1928. In 1932 Tata Airways Limited introduced air services between Karachi and Lahore. In 1932, Air India began its journey under the aegis of Tata Airlines, a division of Tata Sons Ltd.

Drafted in December 1944, the Convention also illustrates a sentiment that underpins the construction of the post-World War Two multilateral economic system: that by trading with one another, we are far less likely to fight one another. This pursuit of peace helped create the United Nations and other elements of our multilateral system and, although these institutions are never perfect, they have for the most part achieved that most basic aim: peace. Air travel, too, played its own important role. If trading with others helps to break down barriers, then meeting and learning from each other surely goes even further.

Although an Indian route had been pioneered before the First World War, after it ended, fourteen years would pass before the route was established on a permanent basis. The research provides an explanation for the late start and subsequent slow development of the India route. The overall finding is that progress was held back by a combination of interconnected factors operating in both Britain and the Persian Gulf region. These included economic, political, administrative, diplomatic, technological, and cultural factors. The arguments are developed through a methodology that focuses upon two key theoretical concepts which relate, firstly, to interwar civil aviation as part of a dimension of empire, and secondly, to the history of aviation as a new technology.

  • Is Indian Military Aviation Reorienting? Kishore Kumar Khera
    IDSA Issue Brief Is Indian Military Aviation Reorienting? Kishore Kumar Khera May 07, 2019 Summary The unabated growth of the helicopter fleet in the Indian Armed Forces in the last two decades is a result of coherence between demand and supply. All three wings of the Indian Armed Forces clearly annunciated their operational requirements and moved forward aggressively for helicopter fleet expansion. This demand was ably supported by the supply of Russian Mi-17s and Indigenous ALHs. The addition of the heavy lift Chinook CH47 and the attack helicopter Apache AH64E will augment the capabilities further. If this trend were to persist, soon the IAF, the prime aviation force, will have more helicopters than fighter aircraft. With a lack of supply of fighter aircraft and its continuous draw down, are the Indian Armed Forces reorienting for helicopter dominated air operations for guarding the national interests? IS INDIAN MILITARY AVIATION REORIENTING? Aviation has been a part of military kinetic capability for over a century now. Exactly 100 years ago, for the first time, an independent military aviation wing was established that later was rechristened as the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom.1 Based on the basic configuration of the lifting surface, aviation assets are broadly classified as fixed wing (aircraft) and rotary wing (helicopters). A further sub- classification in each category is based on their primary role. Fixed wing aviation assets include fighter aircraft of small size, with one or two crew members and primarily employed for weapon firing. The other subcategory of fixed-wing aircraft is the wide-bodied large aircraft capable of carrying passengers or cargo or special equipment like sensors or fuel.

India saw the growth of airlines from the beginning of the twentieth century albeit, in the private sector, India also witnessed Nationalization followed by privatization. With a multitude of domestic and global players, aviation in India grew leaps and bounds. Many private airlines wound up on various accounts, many were born as well. The Government of India ensured that Air India and its subsidiaries which were successful till the 1970s and were losing steam on account of bureaucratic and political apathy was funding the behemoth, which turned out to be a loss-making enterprise. The world of aviation has seen plenty of Acquisitions, Mergers, Joint-ventures, Alliances, Partnerships and other business combinations as researched and studied by Prof. Benjamin Gomes-Casseres in his Remix Strategy. The Research paper is a work in progress which is focusing on the dynamics of what the TATA Sons are doing to ensure a revert back to the business that they originally founded in 1932.

According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.
