Civil Aviation

Indian aviation sector has grown tremendously in the last decade with the opening up of Indian skies for the private sector and advent of low-cost airlines. Growing at a CAGR of 14% over the period from 2004-05 to 2012-13 it is now the ninth largest aviation market in the world. Domestic passenger traffic reached 122.43 million in 2013-14 registering a growth of 5.2% over the previous year. During the same period international passenger throughput stood at 43.03 million, up 8.34%. It has been estimated that India would become the third largest aviation market globally by 2020. The domestic airlines are expected to double their combined fleet size to 800 in the next 5-6 years. Going ahead, the total investment in the aviation sector is projected at US$120 billion in the next five years. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has been working closely with the Government and regulatory agencies for a robust, investor-friendly and customer-focused aviation sector. It has engaged all the concerned stakeholders for rationalizing sales tax on aviation turbine fuel (ATF), the key cost component of an airline, and advocated a liberalized policy environment for private players. The CII has in the past constituted National Committee on Aviation and Core Groups which acted as one of the main interfaces between industry and the policy-makers. With the Government allowing six more start-up carriers to fly, three each getting national and regional permits, the aviation sector is set to see another exciting phase. The growth is set to throw several challenges besides opportunities in the spheres of policy and regulation. As an industry representative and key partner in the economic growth, CII is committed to giving key policy and procedure related inputs to the Government for making Indian aviation sustainable and affordable.
