Overview

The number of passenger traffic has grown rapidly from 14 million in 2001 to more than 335 million in 2020. According to AIRBUS India will be in the top 3 aviation markets globally in the next 20 years. The figures for air travelers and air freight traffic are intensifying significantly. The air freight is projected to touch 1.1 million tonnes by 2025 from the current 3.35 metric tons in 2020 as per a report in leading newsprint in India.

The numbers indicate a remarkable growth in the Indian aviation industry. With arrangements like “UDAN” (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) aims at bringing price feasibility within the sector such that the common people can fly at cheaper fares. Another initiative has been taken via the “NABH” (NextGen Airports for Bharat) Nirman scheme with the instigation of new generation airports and multiply the capacity of the current ones in the country.

The aviation industry in India is certainly set for overwhelming growth. Development of the sector is further being propelled by new technology such as electric aircraft’s which will make air travel much economical than its present-day fares and thus more accessible to a wider section of people. Passenger drones and air rickshaws will be seen soon elevated in the sky. Other propellers like an increasing number of aircraft’s, enhanced infrastructure, government impetus, and higher income levels will also contribute towards the evolution of the sector.

Many instances in the past concerning airplane accidents to missing planes have existed and again indicated the significance of being adequately protected against imaginable risks.
