Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/61c1e6/flying_high_indi) has announced the addition of the "Flying High – India’s Aviation market 2006-07" report to their offering.
The ‘Indian Aviation Industry’ report analyzes the current state of aviation industry in India. It focuses on the growth quotient of the industry, the state of infrastructure and the market dynamics of major players. Additionally, the report covers the future outlook of the industry. In particular, the report will help the client in gauging the dynamics of the industry and the level of competition in the market.
The Indian aviation industry is witnessing a high growth rate with the entry of private and low fare carriers. Even the allied sectors of the airline sector, which include MRO, ground handling and catering services, are also making profit following the robust growth. The overall positive development in the economy has given a boost to trade and commerce. As a result the demand for air cargo services has increased significantly in the recent years, inspiring new players to make foray in the air cargo sector. In comparison to the large travel and transportation services sector, aviation industry still comprises a small segment. This indicates that the industry is yet to scale new heights in future, provided more importance is given on the improvement of infrastructure.

The Aviation industry in India encompasses a wide range of services related to air transport such as passenger and cargo airlines, unscheduled service operators - private jets and helicopters, airport management, and support services that include Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul (MRO), ground handling, in-flight catering, and training.
The Aviation sector has benefited significantly from the entry of private carriers and the emergence of low fare carriers. The growth of the airlines sector has contributed to a boom in demand for allied services including MRO, ground handling and catering services. This rapid growth has also resulted in a major talent crunch for the industry, providing a significant opportunity for training service providers. The boom in the wider economy and increased demand for trade has also resulted in greater need for air cargo services with a number of players entering the sector and airports expanding cargo handling capacities.
The aviation sector is still a small part of the travel and transportation services sector in India with annual passenger traffic in 2006-07 of around 96 million as compared to around 6 billion passengers carried by the railways. The industry is faced with several challenges; most significantly inadequate infrastructure to keep pace with rapid growth that the industry has seen in recent years. The airlines suffered losses of around USD 500 million in 2006-07 and are expected to post greater losses in 2007-08. The high cost of operations, intense competition, and unsustainably low fares have contributed to these losses. While initiatives have been taken to remove bottlenecks to growth, further investments in capacity will need to be made for the industry to grow in a sustainable manner. The airlines sector has also seen a spate of mergers which are likely to help mitigate some of the losses suffered by the industry.
India’s aviation sector is expected to be among the fastest growing globally with improved affordability and connectivity contributing to growth in both passengers and cargo traffic. Large public and private investments in air travel infrastructure supported by government initiatives are expected to support the development of this sector.
Scope of the Project:
The report will provide a snapshot of the Indian Aviation Industry and the dynamics that drive the sector.
