  • 669419-1 EFFICIENCY of AIRLINES in INDIA ABSTRACT This Paper Measures the Technical Efficiency of Various Airlines Operating In
    Natarajan and Jain Efficiency of Airlines in India EFFICIENCY OF AIRLINES IN INDIA Ramachandran Natarajan, College of Business, Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville TN, 38505, U.S.A. E-Mail: [email protected] , Tel: 931-372-3001 and Ravi Kumar Jain, Icfai Business School, IFHE University, Hyderabad-501203 (AP) India. E-Mail: [email protected] , Mobile: 91+94405-71846 ABSTRACT This paper measures the technical efficiency of various airlines operating in India over a ten-year period, 2001-2010. For this, the Input Efficiency Profiling model of DEA along with the standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to gain additional insights. The study period is divided into two sub-periods, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, to assess if there is any impact on the efficiency of airlines due to the significant entry of private operators. The study includes all airlines, private and publicly owned, both budget and full service, operating in the country offering scheduled services on domestic and international routes. While several studies on efficiency of airlines have been conducted globally, a research gap exists as to similar studies concerning airlines in India. This paper addresses that gap and thus contributes to the literature. Key Words: Airlines in India, DEA analysis, Input efficiency profiling, Productivity analysis, Technical efficiency. Introduction The civil aviation industry in India has come a long way since the Air Corporation Act was repealed in the year 1994 allowing private players to operate in scheduled services category. Several private players showed interest and were granted the status of scheduled carriers in the year 1995. However, many of those private airlines soon shut down.

  • Corporate Buddha
    CORPORATE BUDDHA This case study is prepared by Team Think Tank Flight of the Phoenix The Indian Aviation Industry “Indian aviation market is the 9th largest in the world with size of US$ 16 Billion and has a potential to become the third largest by 2020 and largest by 2030.” Nobody would have predicted this in 1912, when the first air route between Delhi and Karachi was established. The first major development in the sector happened in 1953, when nationalization of Indian Airlines (IA) brought the domestic civil aviation sector under the purview of Indian Government. But government took the first major step in 1990, with its Open Sky policy and various other liberalization policies. In the year 2000, many private players started entering the Indian Aviation Industry, and it still is an attractive sector with great market potential and drivers, like: Foreign Direct Investments in domestic airlines Low Cost Carriers (LCC) Modern airports and a growing emphasis on No-Frills Airports (NFA) Cutting edge Information Technology (IT) interventions Despite all these initiatives most of the airlines operating in India are incurring losses. These losses are due to high operational cost, High cost of aviation turbine fuel, High service tax and other charges and Shortage of maintenance facilities. Present Scenario In the second quarter of 2015, domestic air passenger traffic surged by 19.2 per cent to 20.3 million from 17 million in the corresponding period a year ago. Total passenger carried in June 2015 increased at a rate of 13 per cent Y-o-Y to 8.8 million from 7.8 million in June 2014.

  • Federation of Indian Airlines: the Strike That Was Not
    Journal of Case Research vol: 1 issue: i Federation of Indian Airlines: The Strike That Was Not S.S. Ganesh1 “We have been appealing to the government for a long time but have received no response, even when most other sectors have received assistance. Our losses are no longer sustainable” – Vijay Mallya, Chairman of FIA “Would the private airlines allow the government control in their organizations in case of a bailout as happened in other countries?” – One Senior Official from Ministry of Civil Aviation “Huge sums of money on cricket teams, buying more planes than needed, buying other airlines. Is the public to pay for bad management practices?” – D Raja, CPI Leader ******* Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) gave an ultimatum to the Government of India to bail out the airlines lest they may stop their operations on 18th August 2009 as a token strike. This decision was communicated to the Government by the private airlines after a long meeting of the members of Federation of Indian Airlines except Air India and Paramount Airlines. After the meeting, the members of FIA said that they would request other airlines including Air India, although Air India being the public sector airline and not party to the decision, to join the strike as it was natural for all airlines which suffer huge losses to seek Government support. Speaking to the media on the Government support to airlines, Chairman of the Federation of Indian Airlines and Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines, Vijay Mallya said “We have been appealing to the government for a long time but have received no response, even when most other sectors have received assistance.
