ransport is a major driver of economy. The linkage between civil aviation sector and economic activity and its catalytic impact on Tgeneral development is now well recognised. The ICAO estimated that $100 spent on air transport produce benefits worth $325 for the economy and 100 additional jobs in air transport result in 610 new economy wide jobs. The ICAO study attributes over 4.5% of global GDP (Continued on page 04)

011 STUDYING THE WAY WINDS SWIRL GAVE OUR DESIGNERS AN IDEA FOR LOWERING EMISSIONS.

How do you reduce NOx emissions? The answer was blowing in the wind. Observing the way winds swirl, CFM* designers were inspired to create the Twin-Annular Pre-Swirl combustor. A radical new technology that lowers NOx by 50% compared to current CAEP (Committee on Aviation Environment Protection) limits. It’s one of a thousand and one breakthroughs in our new LEAP engine.

Indian Aviation– The Road Ahead (Continued from page 01) to the air transport component of civil aviation. An efficient aviation sector to be approximately 1,000 aircraft; domestic passengers to number 150-180 is essential to support tourism, an industry with immense employment million; a helicopter fleet of around 500; air cargo movement to reach the opportunity. During the last one decade the civil aviation sector has grown level of 9 million tonnes; and the potential to absorb three million jobs. at a phenomenal pace and India has emerged as the 9th largest civil aviation In spite of the above said growth, India continues to be a small player market in the world. in the international arena. The trips per capita in India still remain very low Passengers carried by domestic airlines from in the year 2011 (Jan-Dec) (0.04) even by the standards of other emerging markets, such as China (0.15), were 606.63 lakhs as against 520.21 lakhs in the year 2010 thereby registering Brazil (0.25) and Malaysia (0.54). China’s domestic traffic is five times a growth of + 16.6%. the size of India’s despite having a population just 15% larger. The upside It is expected to grow at a rate of 9-10% annually to reach the level of potential therefore, remains huge, driven by strong economic and demographic 150 to 180 million passengers by 2020. Today India has 14 scheduled airlines fundamentals. India has 1 aircraft for every 2.89 million population which is operating exclusive of cargo airlines. In 1990, there were only two airlines miniscule in comparison to 1.14 million in china, 0.96 of Indonesia, 0.89 in in operation. In 1990 there were only 100 aircrafts operating in the country Philippines and 0.63 in Brazil. Out of the 32,000 helicopters in the world India which have now risen to 413. As against 39 non scheduled operators in 2000, has merely 210 while out of 15,750 freighter carriers globally, India has just 12. the figure has now swollen to 123. The total number of aircrafts in the country India’s civil aviation story has just begun and the vision of the Civil too has shown a rapid rise from 225 in 2000 to 735 in 2010.

Grossmann Jet Service attains Six Sigma Certification rossmann Jet Service, the Prague-based Gexecutive jet operator, recently concluded Six Sigma certification, following attendance of training courses in London and Prague. The Six Sigma methodology is recognised worldwide and ensures that every project carried out within the certified organisation follows a defined sequence of operation, removing any obstacles and ensuring a perfectly tailored service. The structure of Six Sigma provides a highly disciplined method of training that enables organisations to focus on developing and delivering near-perfect products and services. The word ‘Sigma’ is a statistical term measuring how far a given process deviates from perfection. The key ideology behind Six Sigma is that if the number of ‘defects’ in a process can be measured, they can systematically be eliminated to get as close to ‘zero defects’ as possible. An organisation that has achieved Six Sigma certification demonstrates a dedication to efficient processes across the board and allocates fewer resources to correction and more towards production. “We are delighted to have achieved Six Sigma certification,” said CEO Dagmar Grossmann. “In an industry where safety processes are essential, Six Sigma is a valuable asset. Our business is essentially about time saving and utilising the Six Sigma method enables us to work to our maximum potential, for ourselves and For Advertising and importantly for our clients.” Editorial Participation Contact: Grossmann Jet operates an Embraer Legacy 600 and Hawker 900 XP, affording passengers the SAP MEDIA WORLDWIDE LTD. utmost privacy and comfort that comes with VIP Dilkap Chambers, 509/511, 5th Floor, Veera Desai Road, Fun Republic Street Andheri (W), Mumbai-400053, India. catering and state-of-the-art in-flight technology Tel: 91-22-40401919 including DVD players, satellite phones, Internet Email: [email protected] access, iPod outlets and iPads. www.sapmagazines.com
