KEY POINTS
· The growth of aviation has been affected by choking regulations, tough entry barriers for new entrants, high fuel prices on account of sky high taxes, and inefficient public sector airports that are paving the way for monopoly airports that are extortionist in the absence of robust competition.
· The ‘Start-up India’ initiative is by and large the driving force in hi-tech companies and disrupting many conventional businesses.
· Aviation is integral to equitable economic growth, for a country to be globally competitive and to change the situation in swathes of India that are struggling with poverty and unemployment.
· Passenger airlines and air cargo overcome geography and connect remote areas are alienated from the mainstream.
· They can drive investment deep into the country, giving people access to markets. More importantly, they boost tourism, which is the largest employment generator in the unorganised sector.
· Despite the regional airport development plan, ‘Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik ( UDAN) initiative, there is not much regional connectivity. And where slots are made available with difficulty.
· India has not kept pace with modern technology in aerospace, increasing costs to the industry and ultimately affecting passenger growth. Regulators are not popular in any country.
· India’s statutory regulatory authority, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, needs to be modernised, well-staffed, motivated and incentivised.
