Dear Friends,
Recently police spent a staggering half
million pounds on investigating the
drone disruption at London Gatwick
Airport. The airport closure cost
airlines about Fifty million pounds;
and the revenue loss at Gatwick
Airport itself is still unknown.
Airports, prisons, sporting arenas,
government buildings, ports and
infrastructure that house a large
number of civilians know
they are also susceptible to
similar and costly drone
threats. In fact, the
counter drone market
is predicted to rise by
28.8% annually over
the next five years.
There is an urgent need
for integration of the
technology that is designed
to detect, identify and neutralize
malicious drone activity and to
overcome the regulatory hurdles.
Till now, solution developers from
industry, start-ups and technology
groups were discussing the ‘What
if? Scenario. Now that the ‘big one’
has occurred, the need to develop
complete solutions to this emerging
threat has become predominant.
The need therefore for every
organization whether it is Aviation,
Defense, Prisons, and Strategic
Industrial installations is to:
• Learn how to protect their
organization and its assets from
drone incursions
• Identify cost-effective solutions to
the long-term drone concerns
• Work out strategies to reduce the
risk of a loss of money, reputation
or even life
• Understandtherapiddevelopment
of drone technology and how
it can specifically affect each
organization
New technologies, as they develop,
while bringing certain advantages,
also create new potential threats and
tools for malicious attacks on critical
infrastructure. Several recent
incidents in different parts
of the world have shown
that the threat posed by
UAVs cannot and must
not be ignored. In view
of UAVs advance in
technological capability
and spread to a wider
range of usage domains,
security responses must
consider new, ‘out-of-the-
box’ thinking because, as Albert
Einstein put it, ‘No problem can be
solved from the same kind of thinking
that created it.’
Happy Landings.

Blockchain for aircraft parts
may be getting a bit more
real. Data-digitizer FLYdocs
and engine asset-manager
Willis Lease Finance have
partnered to develop a
blockchain solution for part
documentation. FLYdocs
software coders will build
the blockchain with the
help of Microsoft-partner
United Data Technologies.
The plan is for a blockchain
accessible only to trusted
companies, with a pilot
program available by May
and a marketable product
ready by early fall 2019.
Craig Gottlieb principal
director in Accenture’s
Aerospace & Defense
practice says “Aircraft
leasing is an intriguing
area for distributed ledger
technology, or blockchain,It
fits very nicely into what
makes for a good distributed
ledger use case. With
multiple actors across the
ecosystem, a need for trusted
data, multiple validation and
control points for those data,
andaneedtoauditthosedata
is a prerequisite.”Gottlieb
argues that aircraft leasing
may be ready to exploit
four emerging technologies:
blockchain, artificial
intelligence (AI), extended
reality and quantum
computing. He says each
technology is important
itself, and combined they
could be very powerful.
HYPERSONIC FLIGHT
TECHNOLOGY
After the moon landing in
1969, scientists next set their
sights on Mars. Now, fifty
years later, scientists are once
again trying to get humans to
Mars and are also developing
super-fast spy planes and
designing aircrafts that could
cross oceans in mere hours.
Those goals all call for travel
more than five times faster
thanthespeedofsound,called
hypersonic flight. Engineers
working on a propulsion
system to enable hypersonic
air travel say they have passed
a development milestone.
U.K.-based Reaction Engines
is developing technology
for Synergetic Air-Breathing
Rocket Engines (SABRE),
which could one day allow
aircraft to fly up to five times
faster than the speed of sound
— that’s Mach 5 or 3,836
miles per hour. At that speed,
hypersonic flights between
London and Australia could
be over in just four-and-
a-half hours, according to
Chloe Taylor of CNBC.UK-
based Reaction Engines have
stated they their precooler
component has successfully
handled temperatures of 420
degrees Celsius, which equals
the temperatures aircraft
would face at Mach 3.3.
Reaction Engines say they
intend to push its precooler
to temperatures hotter than
1,000 degrees Celsius which
aircraft are exposed to at
Mach 5.

USING BIG DATA-KEY TO THE FUTURE EFFICIENCY
Fifteen years ago, it was
acceptable for airlines to focus
purely on pushing planes
through the skies. Today, they
are pushing terabytes of data,
too.Anairline’scorecompetency
has extended to shifting and
sifting data from a constellation
of different sources. Big data in
aviation is changing everything.
More airlines providers are
seeing promising results from
predictive big data analytics,
using the results to head off
component failures and avoid
delays.
The aviation industry has
produced a preponderance of
data for years but often has not
done a good job of weaving it
together to form patterns and
connect the dots. Now the
threads are joining to capture
patterns via algorithms, analysts
and machine learning. While
there are much to do to further
link data sources together, big
data analytics are producing
increased aircraft availability,
faster turnaround times, fewer
maintenance delays and cost
savings.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Fuel take accounts for 17 percent
of overall operating costs, fuel
is the second-highest expense
for airlines after labor, making
fuel efficiency a critical metric.
Airlines are now using big data
in aviation to help squeeze
new efficiencies into their fuel
usage. Computing power has

developed to the point where
airlines can gather and process
the vast amounts of data they
need to analyze fuel usage on a
per-trip basis.
PREDICTING FAILURE
Data from aircraft-based sensors
can create insights beyond fuel
efficiency. Boeing uses analytics
to look at 2 million conditions
each day across 4,000 airplanes
as part of its Airplane Health
Management (AHM) system.
This data, which includes in-
flight measurements, mechanic
write-ups, and shop findings,
helps the company to plan
equipment maintenance with
minimal disruption to flights.
Delta, which is incorporating
Airbus’ Skywise platform into
its day-to-day business to
track and analyze operations
and performance data on its
A320 and A330 fleets, seeks
to build some key joint venture
agreements or partnerships with
sensor technology companies as
well as Airbus and/or Boeing or
both to continue to drive long-
term predictive technologies that
will ultimately result in a new
way to generate maintenance
programs for aircraft.
AIRLINE SAFETY
By amassing data from flight
incidents, regulators are also
hoping to improve safety across
the entire industry. The European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
launched Data4Safety, a
data collection and analysis
program to detect risks using a
combination of safety reports,
in-flight telemetry data, air
traffic surveillance information,
and weather data.
The program will enable
regulators to identify the biggest
safety risks and determine
whether industry stakeholders
are taking the right actions to
mitigate them.
DATA SILOS
Insights can come from pairing
different data sources together,
but first you have to gather
the information and do it well.
Data quality is the key issue
in predictive analytics. The
environments that house the
sensor data are different from
those that have the operational
data such as delays, cancellations
and deferred maintenance
items. To rectify this, concerted
efforts have been made over the
years to store operational data
in one place. This creates “one
source of the ‘truth’ in data that
is accessible to many.
CONCLUSION
Aviation industry is now moving
beyond predictive maintenance
and delay-prevention to help
troubleshoot chronic issues,
identify trends across the fleet
and make better operational
decisions.

Air Canada is dark
horse in race for Jet
Airways
Air Canada has emerged as the
dark horse in the race to acquire
Jet Airways. The Canadian
airline, along with Etihad, is
among the top contenders for
the debt-laden Indian airline.
Heartened by the
interest from these
foreign carriers,
State Bank
of India, the
lead lender to
Jet Airways,
had extended
the deadline
for Expression of
Interest to April 12.
According to a source, Air
Canada has sent a written
application to the state-run
bank seeking an extension.
Malaysian carrier Air Asia and
Tata Sons joint venture
Vistara are also
understood to be
among those who
have sought
a clarification
from lenders.
Jet Airways’
current joint
venture investor
Etihad Airways
had also confirmed its
interest in bidding for the
beleaguered airline.

FLYING INDIGO!
DON’T FORGET TO
CHECK TERMINAL
FROM APRIL 15
Starting April 15, if you are
flying any of Indigo’s 26
domestic flights numbered
between 6E 5300 and 6E
5399, then make sure you
head to the Mumbai airport’s
Terminal 2 at Sahar and not
the domestic Terminal 1 at
Santacruz.
Indigo which has benefited
from the temporary
redistribution of slots used
by Jet Airways, will operate
additional domestic flights
to Indore, Nagpur, Varanasi,
Kochi, Bengaluru, Vadodara,
Patna, Chennai, and
Hyderabad from T2.
Since existing flights to
the above destinations will
continue to operate from T1
and is likely to cause confusion
among flyers, the airline on
Wednesday sent out mailers
and put out announcements
on its website.
Vistara and AirAsia India were
the first airlines to take up
slots vacated by Jet Airways.
Since Vistara already operates
out of T2, it will not need to
make any changes. SpiceJet
too has taken slots out of Jet’s
kitty.

BJP PROMISES TO
DOUBLE NUMBER OF
FUNCTIONAL AIRPORTS
IN 5 YEARS
Big plans for the aviation
infrastructure! The Bharatiya
Janata Party in its manifesto
for Lok Sabha polls 2019 has
promised huge development
for the nation’s aviation
sector. With regard to the
establishment of new airports,
the party has promised that
in the next five years, that
is by the year 2024, they
will double the number of
functional airports in the
country, if voted to power.
According to the manifesto,
in the year 2014, there
were a total of 65 functional
airports. While today, there
are as many as 101 functional
airports in the country. The
Modi government aims to
double this number.
In the last one year, several
airportshavebeeninaugurated
by Prime Minister. The state
of Sikkim was finally put on
the aviation map as PM Modi
inaugurated the Pakyong
greenfield airport in the state.
The airport is spread across
201 acres and is approximately
30 kilometres from the state
capital Gangtok. In addition
to this, the Hollongi airport
was also inaugurated in the
state of Arunachal Pradesh in
the month of February. The
airport becomes imperative
for providing regional air-
connectivity to the state and
for boosting the tourism
potential.
INDIAN
AVIATION:
FROM
DUOPOLY TO
MONOPOLY
In the early ’90s, India’s
aviation industry, which was
thenaduopolybetweenIndian
Airlines and Air India, was
opened to private enterprise
in a bid to democratize air
travel. While seven private air
operator permits were issued,
by 2005, only two airlines—
Jet Airways and Air Sahara—
had survived the open skies
policy.
“A lot of people got into
aviation in the early ’90s
because it was a glamorous
industry,” says Jitender
Bhargava, former executive
director of Air India. “But
people didn’t have the
knowledge and a lot of them
suffered.”Cut to 2019 and
there is a clear indication of
where the aviation industry is
headed. Nearly three-fourths
of the market is dominated by
low-cost carriers (LCC), which
offer cheap fares.
Operationally, the Indian
aviation industry is a high-
cost market. “This reality, that
the Indian aviation market
is highly price sensitive,
has been overlooked by
many a businessman,” says
Bhargava. “With regard to Air
India’s losses, people dubbed
the causes as government
interference, bureaucracy
and union issues. But there
are real issues concerning the
Indian [aviation] market.”
At present, it is dealing with
multiple crises: Shortage
of pilots, financial woes
of Jet Airways and issues
pertaining a specific aircraft
type, including engine-related
problems. All of this has
resulted in about 100 airplanes
being grounded. Adding to
the stress was the single-digit
growth in passenger air traffic
in January (9 percent) and
February (5.71 percent).
