Introduction to Indian aviation
Industry

In 1994 the Air Corporation Act of 1953 was repealed


with a view to remove monopoly of air corporations on
scheduled services.
Enable private airlines to operate scheduled service,
convert Indian Airlines and Air India to limited company
and enable private participation in the national carriers.
In beginning of 1990 private airline companies were
allowed to provide limited services.
That resulted in the increase of the share of private airline
operators in domestic passenger carriage to 68.5% in 2005
from 0.4 of 1991.

Initial growth of aviation industry

The Indian aviation sector had witnessed


strong growth in 2005 with the entry of
many low cost carriers (LCC).
The increased competition resulted in
lower air fares for travelers.
passenger traffic grew from 19.8 million
during July 2004 and June 2005 to 27.5
million during July 2005 and June 2006.
Difficulties for Domestic Airlines

Low fares because of competition


Huge Advertising
High fuel prices
Poor infrastructure
Excess capacity
Huge debt burden
INCREASE IN COMPETITION INCREASE IN ADVERTISING
Huge Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF)
Prices
ATF prices now form around 80% of the total
operating costs of Airline Industry.
ATF prices have almost doubled over the last year.
ATF prices which have demonstrated the inverse
relationship between airline stock prices and fuel
prices.
The industry reported a $10.4 billion loss in the last
year.
Excess Capacity
Driven by the drastically increasing passenger traffic
over the last 3 years, almost all domestic players built
their capacity
Assuming the growth would continue over the next few
years. Several new aircrafts were bought within a short
span of time which resulted in excess capacity of
around 15% to 20%.
Aircrafts ordered during good times are being delivered
during recession.
Maintaining such low levels of fares will be difficult
due to excess capacity, especially during the ongoing
global slowdown.
Huge Debt Burden
Healthy profits and increasing passenger
traffic saw airlines raising significant
amount of capital from bank to fund their
aggressive expansion plans.
Banks also were liberal in lending airlines.
The top three airlines including Air India,
Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways are
now carrying a cumulative debt burden of
approximately $8 billion.
Poor Infrastructure
Infrastructure continues to be a major
constraint for Indian Airline Industry today
Due to excess capacity created during good
times.
Maintenance and Air Traffic Control (ATC)
infrastructure are grossly inadequate if the
industry expects to grow any further.
Security concerns still remain to be addressed.
Regional Connectivity
Even though the industry is weighed down
with excess capacity, regional connectivity
continues to be poor.
Primarily due to the lack of infrastructure.
Employee shortage
There is clearly a shortage of trained and
skilled manpower in the aviation sector
There is cut-throat competition for
employees
The industry is unable to retain talented
employees.
cut-throat competition drives wages to
unsustainable levels.
Huge loses
In August 2006, Spicejet had reported a net loss
of Rs. 414.2 million for the first year of
operations.
In 2006, Air Deccan, the largest LCC in India,
reported a net loss of Rs. 3.4 billion for the 15
month period ended June 30, 2006.
Jet Airways, a full service carrier, had also
reported a net loss of Rs. 1.0 billion for the half
year ended September 30, 2006.
Corrective measures
October 16, 2006, the representatives of major
carriers decided to set up the Federation of Indian
Airlines.
Improving aviation infrastructure facilities and
reducing taxes on ATF.
The minister said that there would be closer
scrutiny of new applications before issuing
licenses to new carriers.
Ministry would take up the issue of high aviation
turbine fuel (ATF) prices with the oil companies
and the petroleum ministry.
Mergers between Air Deccan and
Kingfisher airlines.
Conclusion
Indian Airline Industry was one of the fastest growing Airline Industry

across the world during the last decade. However, skyrocketing fuel prices,

economic slowdown, slashed corporate travel budgets over the last 3 years

has forced all Indian Airlines to rethink their business model. Excess

capacity build-up and poor infrastructure continue to plague the industry

which is also experiencing a decline in passenger traffic at the same time.

Mergers, liquidation and consolidations seem to be necessary. Improving

energy efficiency of engines, developing infrastructure, increasing regional

connectivity will definitely have a positive impact on the industry.
