  • 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.

  • Airport Solarisation - Cial Steals the Thunder
    AIRPORT SOLARISATION - CIAL STEALS THE THUNDER A case study prepared by Dr. Mohan B. and Dr. Filomina P. George The fact that sun is the ultimate power house had dawned up on human mind long ago, however availing its abundant energy to solve the ever growing power woes remained a technical challenge. Modern world saw the emergence of photovoltaic cell technology as an opportunity in this direction, but its commercial success remained elusive. The PV cell technology based solar power proved to be costly in its generation, its support systems and its maintenance. The litmus test for its universal acceptance was finally the cost of electricity generated from it in comparison with the energy generated from conventional sources like coal, hydropower, or petroleum. The fact remained that the solar power cost at consumer end was 3 to 4 times the cost of power from other sources, and that proved to be a stumbling block in its wide acceptance. Governments across the globe have been offering tremendous financial support for initiatives in solar energy, hoping it would induce much more efforts in this area finally unleashing a technological revolution to make it competitive in all respects. Germany and the rest of the western world have been leading such efforts and all were looking up to them for a solution, but a small entity from God’s own country has stolen their thunder by becoming the first Airport in the globe to meet all its energy needs from solar energy. It may have surprised the whole world, but not those who have closely followed the genesis and growth of CIAL, the first International Airport in India to form on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.

  • 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.
