This document provides an overview of the aviation sector in India. It discusses the impact of liberalization policies in the 1990s in opening the sector to private players. Key developments include the growth of low-cost carriers, new joint ventures between foreign and domestic airlines like Jet-Etihad and Tata-AirAsia, and plans to improve regional connectivity through new regional airports and regional airlines. The aviation industry is projected to continue strong growth in the coming years driven by rising passenger and cargo traffic.

•
•
•
•
•
•
The Indian aviation sector is likely to see clear skies ahead in the years to
come.
Passenger traffic is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15 per cent in the
next 5 years.
The Vision 2020 statement announced by the Ministry of Civil Aviation,
envisages creating infrastructure to handle 280 million passengers by 2020.
Investment opportunities of US$ 110 billion envisaged up to 2020 with
US$ 80 billion in new aircraft and US$ 30 billion in development of
airport infrastructure.
Associated areas such as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and
training offer high investment potential. A report by Ernst & Young says
the MRO category in the aviation sector can absorb up to US$ 120 billion
worth of investments by 2020.
Aerospace major Boeing forecasts that the Indian market will require 1,000
commercial jets in the next 20 years, which will represent over 3 per cent
of Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ forecasted market worldwide. This
makes India a US$ 100 billion market in 20 years.

Wetleaseof aircraft with 60 crew members.
Reality is that Naresh Goyal’s business model was broken and would not have been able to last very long (see: Jet Airways: Heading South). Old Jet soldier Saroj Datta, who has been part of the airline since its inception, minces no words on the situation. “Raising funds was proving to be extremely difficult, and survival would have been tough if not impossible,” he says. Datta had been part of Jet’s senior management for 18 years and has been reading the writing on the wall for years now.
Jet Airways lost its lead position in the Indian market over the past five years after low-cost carriers (LCCs) hit their stride. Goyal was unable to adapt to this shift in market preference for LCCs, but not for want of trying. In fact, he tried too hard and fell flat. From acquiring Air Sahara to fend off Vijay Mallya and Kingfisher, to lobbying fiercely against foreign airline investment, to trying to make his own low-cost airline Jet Konnect click, he tried everything in the book and outside it. Nothing worked. Jet’s debt mounted to $2.1 billion and needed rescuing by a white knight.
Will Etihad save Jet? Addisson Schonland, president of Innovation Analysis Group, an aviation-focussed market research company based in the US, says: “We have seen airlines tied into the Etihad network; [they] all show big improvements once they come under the umbrella. So I would expect to see the same at Jet.” According to Schonland, the challenge will be how the people at Jet deal with this change. Change is coming, he warns, no doubt about it.
Schonland says the folks at Jet will have to realise that their focus is not on Indian competition, but global competition. Etihad and its partners compete against global alliances. Jet will have to “up its game” and that would mean a change of pace for its people. Every alliance is only as good as its weakest partner, and Jet wouldn’t want to be the weak link, he says.
The Competition Commission of India has sought detailed response from Jet and Etihad on the combined market share the two airlines expect to have on the India-Abu Dhabi and beyond routes to places like North America and Europe where other Indian carriers also fly.
The Union cabinet had already cleared the deal last month on October 4, the CCI approval now means that the deal, the first since the government announced a liberalised policy allowing foreign airlines to invest in domestic carriers, can be fully operational within, as little as, the next fortnight. Keeping public sentiment on the fear of the two airlines monopolising the India Abu Dhabi routes, the CCI has cautioned "This approval should not be construed as immunity in any manner from subsequent proceedings before the Commission for violations of other provisions of the Act. It is incumbent upon the parties to ensure that this ex-ante approval does not lead to ex-post violation of the provision of the Act,”
This deal could not have come a moment too soon for Jet Airways, which is literally running on fumes. The airline which is reeling under a debt of almost $2 billion, desperately needs cash to retire high cost debt.
Strategic investment under FDI policy of the Government of India will deliver wide-ranging revenue growth and cost synergy opportunities for both airlines
Alliance will bring significant passenger benefits with expanded codesharing, creating a combined network of 140 destinations
Alliance will bring significant benefits to the Indian economy, both in terms of growth, job creation, trade and tourism
Jet Airways passengers from 23 cities in India to gain direct access to an expanded global network
Jet Airways to enhance its services from its primary hubs of Delhi and Mumbai, and introduce new flights from Hyderabad and Bangalore
The strategic alliance between the two airlines will bring additional traffic, frequencies and revenues to metro airports, as well as other airports of AAI
New India-Abu Dhabi routes and Jet Airways to establish a Gulf gateway for flights to the US, Europe, Africa and the Middle East
The strategic investment enables Etihad Airways to tap into India’s fast-growing 42 million strong travel market
Both airlines' passengers will benefit from fully integrated frequent flyer programs with reciprocal ‘earn-and-burn’
Alliance will result in both consumer benefits and/or all round efficiencies
This strategic investment with a US$600 million commitment from Etihad Airways will help further strengthening of Jet Airways financial position.
In some ways, Hogan and his backers in Abu Dhabi are like the Lakshmi Mittals of the airline industry. Just as the steel billionaire fashioned an empire by buying up key, mostly-distressed, steel projects and turning them around to form a larger empire, a big part of Etihad’s ‘multilateral’ strategy is to identify loss-making airlines with access to key source markets. For example, the deal with Air Berlin provided access to the German domestic market—one of the largest in Europe—in the face of bilateral restrictions. Like Dubai and Qatar, Abu Dhabi too has little to boast about in terms of a home market. The latest deal with Air Serbia allows access to the Balkans
The second feature of all of Etihad’s tie-ups is the careful nurturing of loyal customers. Hogan has developed a collection of frequent flier programmes (FFPs) from airlines that it has a stake in and plans to weld them into his own. In India, an early step was to pick up half of Jet’s FFP Jet Privilege flyers for $150 million. The ability to earn and burn miles is critical to the creamy layer of airline customers. Etihad also owns 70 percent in Air Berlin’s FFP Topbonus.
Control By Air Asia ?????
The airports handled a total of 1020.9 thousand metric tones of international cargo in 2006-07.
