With the rise in economy of the country, followed by liberalization in the aviation sector and with the entry of the privately owned full service airlines and low cost carriers, the Aviation Industry in India has undergone a complete transformation in the recent periods. The Indian Aviation industry is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world with private airlines accounting for majority of the share of the sector of the domestic aviation market. Indian aviation sector is poised to become one of the top civil aviation markets in the world over the next five years. The modernization of non-metro airports, fleet expansion by airlines, service expansion by state owned carriers, development of the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) industry in India, opening up of new international routes by the Indian Government, establishment of new airports and renovation and restructuring of the existing airports, the growth of tourism industry in India and the increasing outbound travel from India have added to the growth of aviation industry. The Hyderabad International Airport has been recently ranked amongst the world’s top five in a recent passenger survey. India’s growing participation in intercontinental trade, globalization of aviation services, geographical advantages, availability of talented cost competitive manpower , outstanding technological capabilities makes India an ideal destination for becoming a Global Aviation Hub. The DRDO through its major programmes like Airborne Early Warning and Control System programme, LCA development programme, KAVERI engine development programme is contributing to the development of advanced technologies like advanced avionics, advanced composites technologies, fuel efficient technologies, fly by wire flight control systems, advanced propulsion systems, advanced communication technologies and navigation technologies, which has led to national self reliance. These technologies have great potential to be applied in civil aviation sectors too, like in the development of civil aircrafts. The Aeronautical Society of India, Hyderabad Chapter has always endeavored to promote a conducive environment for the growth of aeronautics in India bringing the Industry, Academia, Scientists, Engineers and Students on a common platform. The Aeronautical Society of India, Hyderabad Branch has accepted the challenge and has decided to organize a three day Aviation Conclave-2010 and an International Conference & Exhibition on “Aviation in the Millennium: Are we geared up?. The conclave would provide a snapshot of the Indian Aviation Industry and the major trends in the sector. It will also seek to highlight the key challenges faced by Indian Aviation Industry. We are very fortunate to have brought together eminent speakers for the technical deliberations. I sincerely hope that this initiative will help us in steering an era of technology innovations and national prosperity. (Dr VK Saraswat) Chairman, AeSI E.S.L.
