INDIA’S AVIATION SECTOR TODAY

The Indian aviation industry, have shown continued growth in recent years with key drivers being positive economic factors (including high GDP growth), industrial performance, corporate profitability/expansion, higher disposable incomes and growth in consumer spending as well as wider availability of low fares. In the period of April -September 2006, the total aircraft movements witnessed an increase of 29.6% year-on-year to 494.92 thousand aircraft movements, compared to 318.89 thousand during April-September 2005. In September 2006 period, the total passenger traffic has shown an increase of 31.1% year-on-year as compared to September 2005.

Revolutionized by liberalization, the aviation sector in India has been marked by fast-paced change in the past few years. From being a service that few could afford, the sector has now graduated to being a fiercely competitive industry with the presence of a number of private and public airlines and several consumer-oriented offerings. The promise and the potential of the Indian aviation market are awesome. Over 135 aircraft have been added in the last two years alone. By 2010, India's fleet strength will stand at 500-550.

In the same period, the domestic aviation market size will cross 60 million and international traffic 20 million. Airbus pegs India's demand for airliners at 1100 aircraft, worth US$ 105 billion, over the next 20 years. According to Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel, the country will need 1,500 to 2,000 passenger planes in 10 years, up from 260 now. India's civil aviation passenger growth stands at 20 per cent - among the highest in the world. More diverse businesses in non-metropolitan regions are creating new demand for air services.

Two of India's largest airports - Mumbai and New Delhi - were privatized recently. Two Greenfield airports are coming up at hubs in southern India. Investments are pouring into almost all aspects of the industry, including aircraft maintenance, pilot training and air cargo services. With airport infrastructure being upgraded, non-aeronautical revenues will contribute almost 50 per cent to revenue of airports. Here, private players are planning malls, hospitality chains, book shops, duty-free shops, internet cafes, lounges and entertainment centers.

With the sector expanding at a fast pace, the number of aircraft being used is on the rise and so is the need for pilots. Not surprisingly, aviation school is the latest buzzword among students as India would require 7,500-8,000 pilots and around 24000 – 25000 CABIN CREW by 2010.

High industry standards alone will not automatically ensure a career in aviation. Service standards are amongst the most demanding of any industry, requiring a high degree of professionalism from the aspirant. Specialized skills, right attitude and job knowledge are going to be prime pre requisites to quality. Despite the fact that all Airlines have their own training program for fresh recruits, the competition to get selected is to keen, that prior training has now become a practical necessity.
