  • 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.

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.

We found it a challenging task as even after more than 4 years, the merger was mostly on paper in so far as the integration of manpower was concerned. We could realise a deep sense of frustration and mistrust amongst the employees of two merged entities.

  • Corporate Plan
    Pawan Hans Limited Corporate Plan 2015 Pawan Hans Tower, C-14, Sec -1, Noida, U.P. Corporate Planning & Management System Corporate Planning & Management System Preface India’s civil aviation market is among the fastest growing in the world, but helicopter use remains very limited. From the time, the first civil helicopter flown in India in November 1953 and up to year 1986 the commercial use of helicopters in India remains limited to small aviation activity involved in communication and crop spraying. The formation of the Pawan Hans Limited in 1986 provided the first boost to the civil helicopter industry in India, which now holds and operates the largest fleet in the country with a defined mandate “To become a market leader in Helicopters and Sea Plane services, to provide regional connectivity through small fixed Wing Aircrafts operations and provide repair/ overhaul services at par with international standards.” Today, there are approximately 277 civil registered helicopters in the country, out of which only about 92 helicopters are in commercial business. However, these numbers are woefully inadequate when compared with the world population of civil helicopters. As per the HAI statistics, out of a total world civil helicopter population of 35,000 India accounts for less than one per cent. In fact, India currently has fewer civil helicopters than even Switzerland. Brazil – a developing country like ours – the city of Sao Paulo (similar to Bombay and Delhi) itself has about 750 helicopters. Despite of these above statistics, the market and industry remains optimistic about the Indian Civil helicopter Industry. Accordingly, Pawan Hans has developed a Corporate Plan as strategic vision document–2020 to meet the challenges in all facets of organizational growth led to business expansion in terms of fleet size; improve productivity, increase prosperity, skill development and development of Heliports under Heli-Hubs concept.
