SECTOR’S SPECIAL FEATURES 

SECTOR REPRESENTS CIVIL AVIATION SECTOR AND NOT AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE ALONE



TO UNDERSTAND AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE SECTOR AS A WHOLE



PRESENTLY AIR TRANSPORT IS THE MOST MODERN MODE OF TRANSPORT IN RESPECT OF SPEED AND CONVENIENCE, ESPECIALLY FOR LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL



AIR TRANSPORT IS THE NEWEST MODE OF TRANSPORT



IT IS ONLY ABOUT A CENTURY OLD



UNLIKE OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORT IT HAS AN INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION. INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER TRAFFIC IS INCREASING FAST. AIRCRAFT IS IMPORTED. MANY AIRPORT EQUIPMENT ARE IMPORTED



ITS DEVELOPMENT REALLY STARTED AFTER SECOND WORLD WAR

IMPORTANCE OF CIVIL AVIATION 

INTERNATIONAL GATEWAY AIRPORTS ARE DRIVING AND SHAPING BUSINESS LOCATIONS AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE 21ST CENTURY, AS MUCH AS HIGHWAYS DID IN THE 20TH , RAILROADS IN THE 19TH AND SEAPORTS AND INLAND WATERWAYS IN THE 18TH CENTURY



THE ROLE OF AIR TRANSPORT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTRIES IS CONTINOUSLY INCREASING



AIR TRANSPORT IS MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL GLOBALIZATION



IT HAS BEEN HELPING IN FASTER MOVEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY LEADING TO INCREASE IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND BUSINESS



TOURISM WHICH CONTRIBUTES ABOUT 10 PERCENT WORLD GDP IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON AIR TRANSPORT



ABOUT 40 PERCENT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN VALUE TERMS MOVES BY AIR



AIR TRANSPORT HAS A SPECIAL ROLE IN EMERGENCIES AND CIVIL STRIFE

MAJOR GROUPS OF ACTIVITIES 

AIRLINES



AIRPORTS



AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES



REGULATION



OTHER INDIRECT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURE, ITS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR AND HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

AIRLINES 

AIRLINES INCLUDE SCHEDULED AIRLINES AND NON-SCHEDULED AIRLINES



AIRLINES CAN BE DOMESTIC, INTERNATIONAL OR FOREIGN



AIRLINES CAN BE PASSENGER CARRIERS, FREIGHT CARRIERS OR BOTH PASSENGER AND FRIGHT CARRIERS



MOST AIRLINES CARRY BOTH PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT



AIRLINES CAN BE OWNED BY GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT OWNED COMPANIES, PRIVATE COMPANIES OR COMPANIES JOINTLY OWNED BY GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE ENTITIES



AIRLINES CAN BE OWNED BY ONE AGENCY BUT CAN BE MANAGED BY ANOTHER ENTITY

AIRPORTS 

AIRPORTS CAN BE INTERNATIONAL OR DOMESTIC



MOST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS HANDLE DOMESTIC PASSENGERS



AIRPORTS CAN BE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OWNED, STATE GOVERNMENT OWNED, PRIVATELY OWNED, JOINTLY OWNED BY GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE ENTITY, ON LEASEHOLD



OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT CAN BE WITH DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS



AIRPORTS ARE ALSO BE OWNED BY DEFENCE



SOME AIRPORTS OWNED BY DEFENCE HAVE CIVIL ENCLAVES WHICH ARE MANAGED BY THE AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES 

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES HELP IN NAVIGATING AIRCRAFT WHILE LANDING, TAKING OFF, FLYING IN THE AIR, OVER-FLYING ANY COUNTRY, TAXING ON THE GROUND AND PARKING



THEY PROVIDE A DISCIPLINE IN THE AIR AND ALSO ON THE GROUND AND MAINTAIN SAFETY



THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY USING MODERN EQUIPMENT INCLUDING RADARS

REGULATION AND POLICIES 

INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC IS GROWING FASTER THAN DOMESTIC TRAFFIC



CARGO TRAFFIC GROWTH IS FASTER THAN PASSENGER TRAFFIC



DOMESTIC PASSENGER TRAFFIC EXCEEDS INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER TRAFFIC. BUT THIS MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE



INITIALLY, DOMESTIC CARGO TRAFFIC EXCEEDED INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC GROWTH IN INDIA (2) 

ALTHOUGH THE PERIOD SELECTED FOR GLOBAL TRAFFIC GROWTH IS DIFFERENT THAN THAT FOR INDIA, THE TREND IN INDIA IS DIFFERENT THAN THE WORLD TRENDS



GROWTH RATES OF BOTH PASSENGER AND CARGO TRAFFIC IN INDIA IS HIGHER THAN GLOBAL GROWTH RATES. THESE ARE ALMOST DOUBLE OF THE GLOBAL GROWTH RATES



ANOTHER DIFFERENCE IS THAT IN INDIA PASSENGER TRAFFIC IS GROWING FASTER THAN CARGO TRAFFIC, WHEREAS GLOBALLY CARGO TRAFFIC IS GROWING FASTER THAN PASSENGER TRAFFIC



WHEREAS GLOBAL GROWTH RATE FOR INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER TRAFFIC IS HIGHER THAN DOMESTIC PASSENGER TRAFFIC, IN INDIA DOMESTIC PASSENGER TRAFFIC IS GROWING FASTER. THIS CAN BE A TEMPORARY PHENOMENON

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURE 

INCREASE IN THE SIZE OF AIRCRAFT



HIGHER SPEED



CONSUME LESS FUEL



PRESENT DAY AIRCRAFT CAN TRAVEL LONGER DISTANCES WITHOUT STOPPING



CAN TRAVEL FROM ANY AIRPORT IN THE WORLD TO ANY OTHER AIRPORT IN THE WORLD WITHOUT REFUELING



MODERN AIRCRAFT ARE MORE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY



THEY HAVE MUCH LARGER CARGO CAPACITY



THEY ARE SAFER AND MORE CONVENIENT



NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN DECREASING



THEY ARE CHEAPER TO OPERATE IN REAL TERMS PER UNIT OF CAPACITY

CONSOLIDATIONS AND MERGERS 

DUE TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, AIRLINES ARE GETTING MERGED



FOR EXAMPLE, NORTHWEST AND KLM ROYAL DUTCH GOT MERGED



SEVERAL OTHER INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES HAVE MERGED OR PROPOSE TO BE MERGED



IN INDIA, AIR INDIA AND INDIAN AIRLINES MERGED



SIMILARLY, JET AIR & AIR SAHARA AND KING FISCHER & AIR DECCAN GOT MERGED



POSSIBLY, THERE MAY BE MORE MERGERS IN FUTURE



SHORT OF MERGERS GROUPINGS ARE ALSO TAKING PLACE



IN SEVERAL CASES CODE SHARING IS TAKING PLACE

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT 

WORLDWIDE AIRPORTS HAVE EXPANDED AND MODERNIZED



TERMINAL BUILDINGS HAVE MORE SPACE AND PROVIDE IMPROVED FACILITIES TO PASSENGERS



LARGER CARGO COMPLEXES HAVE DEVELOPED



COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES AT AIRPORTS HAVE EXPANDED



SURROUNDING AREAS OF AIRPORTS HAVE CONSIDERABLY DEVELOPED



PROPERTY VALUES NEAR THE AIRPORT HAVE INCREASED



ACCORDINGLY PROPORTION OF REVENUES FROM NON-AERONAUTICAL SOURCES HAVE BEEN INCREASING



RUNWAY CAPACITIES HAVE INCREASED



MANY AIRPORTS HAVE MORE THAN ONE RUNWAY



THE ROLE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IS INCREASINGLY IN AIRPORT OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT



SATELLITE BASED COMMUNICATION FACILITIES ARE BEING DEVELOPED



HORIZONTAL SEPARATION IN AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 500 FEET FROM 1000 FT

LIBERALIZATION IN OPERATION OF AIRLINES 

GENERAL GLOBALIZATION AND LIBERALIZATION HAS AFFECTED CIVIL AVIATION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD



LIBERALIZATION IN OWNERSHIP OF NATIONAL CARRIERS AND PRIVATIZATION OF AIRLINES



LIBERALIZATION IN CAPACITY SHARING



PRICE CONTROLS ON FARES AN FREIGHT RATES HAVE DISAPPEARED



MARKET ACCESS IS EASIER



OPEN SKY POLICY IS INCREASINGLY FOLLOWED



LOW COST CARRIERS HAVE MADE A REVOLUTION IN AIR TRAVEL



THESE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE RESULTED IN GREATER COMPETITION AMONG AIRLINES, DECREASE IN FARES AND IMPROVEMENT IN SERVICES TO THE USERS AND HIGHER GROWTH IN TRAFFIC



ALTHOUGH FINANCIAL CONDITION OF AIRPORTS IS GENERALLY IS SATISFACTORY, AIRLINES FINANCIAL CONDITION IS GENERALLY UNSATISFACTORY



GREATER EMPHASIS ON SAFETY AND SECURITY

POLICIES IN INDIA FOR AIRLINES (1) 

BEFORE 1953 INDIA HAD ONLY SMALL PRIVATE AIRLINES



IN 1953 AIRLINES WERE NATIONALIZED



NATIONALIZED AIRLINES WERE GIVEN MONOPOLY TO OPERATE SCHEDULED SERVICES



AIR INDIA WAS TO OPERATE INTERNATIONAL SERVICES



INDIAN AIRLINES WAS TO OPERATE DOMESTIC SERVICES



IN NINETIES STATE MONOPOLY OF THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY REMOVED



AIR CORPORATIONS ACT 1953 WHICH GAVE MONOPOLY TO STATE OWNED AIRLINES REPEALED



PRIVATE AIRLINES FREELY PERMITTED



PRIVATE AIRLINES ARE ALSO OPERATING ON INTERNATIONAL ROUTES

POLICIES IN INDIA FOR AIRLINES (2) 

LIMITED FDI PERMITTED IN PRIVATE AIRLINES



NOW THEY HANDLE MORE TRAFFIC THAN GOVERNMENT OWNED AIRLINE AIR INDIA



JET AIR IS PRESENTLY HANDLING MORE PASSENGER TRAFFIC THAN AIR INDIA



PRICE AND OTHER CONTROLS HAVE BEEN REMOVED



LIBERALIZATION IN BILATERAL AIR SERVICES AGREEMENTS



OPEN SKY POLICY FOR AIR CARGO



INTERNATIONAL CHARTERS FREELY ADMITTED



OPEN SKY AGREEMENT WITH USA

POLICIES IN INDIA FOR AIRPORTS 

BEFORE 1972 ALL THE AIRPORTS WERE MANAGED BY DIRECTOR GENERAL CIVIL AVIATION



IN 1974 INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS AUTHORITY, A CORPORATE ENTITY WAS CREATED TO MANAGE FOUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS AT MUMBAI, DELHI, KOLKATA AND CHENNAI



IN 1986 ANOTHER CORPORATE ENTITY KNOWN AS NATIONAL AIRPORTS AUTHORITY WAS CONSTITUTED TO MANAGE OTHER AIRPORTS AND AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES



IN 1995 BOTH THE AIRPORTS AUTHORITIES WERE MERGED AND AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA WAS CONSTITUTED



AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA ACT AMENDED TO PERMIT PRIVATE PARTICIPATION



AIRPORTS AT MUMBAI AND DELHI PRIVATIZED. COCHIN AIRPORT IS ALREADY IN PRIVATE SECTOR



BANGALORE AND HYDERABAD AIRPORTS CONSTRUCTED WITH PRIVATE PARTICIPATION



A NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AT NAVI MUMBAI IS PLANNED



A NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORT AT NOIDA IS UNDER CONSIDERATION



KOLKATA AND CHENNAI AIRPORTS TO BE DEVELOPED BY AAI



35 NON-METRO AIRPORTS TO BE PARTLY PRIVATIZED



REMAINING AIRPORTS TO REMAIN WITH AAI

POLICIES IN INDIA FOR REGULATION 

ALL AIRPORTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED BY DGCA



PROVISIONS OF ANNEX 14 OF CHICAGO CONVENTION ARE TO BE MORE STRINGENTLY APPLIED



FOR ECONOMIC REGULATION A NEW LEGAL ENTITY IS TO BE ESTABLISHED



ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE IS A MUST FOR NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORTS



A NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORT POLICY HAS BEEN INTRODUCED

MODULE 4 - ISSUES AND OPTIONS -CONTENTS 

FORMULATION OF CIVIL AVIATION POLICY



LIBERALISATION OF INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES



OPEN SKY POLICY



EXPANSION OF DOMESTIC AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES. SHOULD THERE BE REGULATION?

 

SHOULD GOVERNMENT STEP IN TO BAIL OUT LOSS MAKING AIRLINES



AIR SERVICES IN REMOTE AREAS OF INDIA



FDI IN DOMESTIC CARRIERS



REGIONAL AIRLINES



PRIVATISATION OF AIR INDIA



ROLE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT



ECONOMIC REGULATION OF CIVIL AVIATION



GROUND HANDLING OF AIRLINES



SAFETY AND SECURITY

FORMULATION OF CIVIL AVIATION POLICY 

THE GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED TO FORMULATE A CIVIL AVIATION POLICY



A DRAFT POLICY PREPARED IN APRIL 2000 IS AVAILABLE ON MOCA WEBSITE



SINCE THEN MANY CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE WORLD AS WELL AS IN INDIA



THIS POLICY IS UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR OVER A DECADE. SEVERAL COMMITTEES HAVE EXAMINED THE ISSUE



REASONS FOR DELAY ARE MANIFOLD



THIS NEEDS TO BE FINALISED EARLY



THE POLICY SHOULD BE REVIEWED PERIODICALLY



AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IS WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE SEPARATE POLICIES FOR DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORT OR AN INTEGRATED NATIONAL TRANSPORT POLICY AND POLICIES FOR DIFFERENT MODES SHOULD BE A PART OF IT



AVIATION IS FAST CHANGING. IT MAY BE DESIRABLE NOT TO HAVE A WRITTEN POLICY. SUCH POLICIES ARE LIKELY TO BECOME RIGID AND DIFFICULT TO CHANGE EASILY

LIBERALISATION OF INTERNATIONAL SERVICES 

INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY LIBERALISED



SHOULD THERE BE COMPLETE LIBERALISATION



SHOULD THERE BE GRADUAL LIBERALISATION



SHOULD LIBERALISATION BE LEFT TO THE STATES TO DECIDE



PRESENT CRITERION FOR PERMITTING PRIVATE AIRLINES FOR OPERATING INTERNATIONAL SERVICES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, IS MINIMUM 5 YEARS OF OPERATIONS ON DOMESTIC OPERATIONS



THIS IS OUTDATED AS MANY FOREIGN AIRLINES WITH LESS EXPERIENCE ARE OPERATING IN INDIA



WHAT SHOULD BE THE CRITERIA FOR PERMITTING PRIVATE CARRIERS IN INDIA TO OPERATE ON INTERNATIONAL SERVICES.

OPEN SKY POLICY ? 

OPEN SKY POLICY MEANS PERMISSION TO OPERATE AIR SERVICES IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTION



THERE IS NOTHING LIKE 100% OPEN SKY POLICY IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD



ALTHOUGH INDIA HAS SIGNED OPEN SKY POLICY WITH USA CLEARANCE FOR JET AIRWAYS TOOK CONSIDERABLE TIME



IT IS PROPOSED TO HAVE OPEN SKY POLICY FOR SAARC COUNTRIES



THERE IS A PROPOSAL TO ADOPT OPEN SKY POLICY FOR ASEAN COUNTRIES. LIMITED OPEN SKY POLICY HAS BEEN INTRODUCED



THE ISSUE IS SHOULD INDIA ADOPT OPEN SKY POLICY OR AMEND BILATERAL AGREEMENTS AS AND WHEN REQUIRED

EXPANSION OF DOMESTIC AIR SERVICES 

IN INDIA DOMESTIC SERVICES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY EXPANDED



THIS HAS RESULTED INTO TOO MUCH CAPACITY AND INTENSE COMPETITION



FARES HAVE DECLINED



WITH INCREASE IN FUEL PRICES COSTS HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY



RECENTLY LOAD FACTOR HAS GONE DOWN



AIRLINES ARE INCURRING LOSSES



INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION SEES AIRLINES GLOBAL LOSS AT $ 5.2 BILLION IN 2008



IN INDIA 2007-08 LOSS IS PROJECTED AT RS. 4000 CRORES. FOR 2008-09 LOSS IS PROJECTED AT RS. 8540 CRORES



INFRASTRUCTURE IS CONGESTED LEADING TO DELAYS



ISSUE IS SHOULD FURTHER EXPANSION OF AIRLINES AND CUT THROAT COMPETITION BE REGULATED

SHOULD GOVERNMENT STEP IN TO BAIL OUT LOSS MAKING AIRLINES 

ESSENTIALLY THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THE PRESENT FINANCIAL SITUATION OF INDIAN AIRLINES



INCREASE IN FUEL PRICES



HIGHER TAXES BT CENTRE AND STATES



SLOWING DOWN OF GLOBAL ECONOMY REDUCING DEMAND FOR AIR TRAVEL



REDUCTION IN UPPER CLASS AIR FARES



OVER-AMBITIOUS GROWTH IN CAPACITY BY AIRLINES



GOVERNMENT’S POLICY OF NON-INTERFERENCE



THE GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN SOME TAX CONCESSIONS



AIRPORTS AUTHORITY HAS GIVEN CONCESSIONS IN CHARGES



THESE ARE NOT ENOUGH. THE MAGNITUDE OF LOSS IS ENORMOUS



IN PRINCIPLE AVIATION SHOULD BE TREATED AT PAR WITH OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORT



SHOULD GOVERNMENT INTERVENE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

AIR SERVICES IN REMOTE AREAS



PRESENTLY UNDER ROUTE DISPERSAL GUIDELINES AIRLINES OPERATING ON TRUNK ROUTES ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A CERTAIN PROPORTION OF SERVICES IN REMOTE AND BACKWARD AREAS



THIS IS MANDATORY AND IS IN VOGUE FOR OVER A DECADE WITHOUT ANY STUDY OF ITS IMPACT



IN THE MEANTIME SURFACE TRANSPORT HAVE EXPANDED SEVERAL FOLD



AIR TRANSPORT HAS ALSO EXPANDED



THE GUIDELINES AFFECTS THE ECONOMICS OF AIRLINES AS SOMETIME THEY HAVE BUY SERVICES IN REMOTE AREAS



SHOULD THIS BE CONTINUED OR REVIEWED OR REGIONAL AIRLINES BE CREATED

FDI IN DOMESTIC CARRIERS 

PRESENTLY FDI IN DOMESTIC SCHEDULED AIRLINES IS LIMITED TO 49%



FOR NRI THERE IS NO LIMIT



HOWEVER FOREIGN AIRLINES CAN NOT HAVE ANY EQUITY IN DOMESTIC SCHEDULED SERVICES



THERE HAS BEN DEMANDS TO INCREASE THE LIMIT OF 49%



THE ISSUE IS SHOULD THE EXISTING LIMIT BE RAISED



PRESENTLY INDIAN DOMESTIC CARRIERS HAVE EXTRA CAPACITY AND THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE NEED FOR EXTRA CAPACITY



SHOULD FDI BE INCREASED ONLY TO GET MORE FDI?

REGIONAL AIRLINES 

THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL AIRLINES



GOVERNMENT IS EAGER TO ENCOURAGE IT



SOME PROPOSALS WERE MOOTED BUT THEY DID NOT MATERIALIZE



IS THERE A NEED FOR REGIONAL AIRLINES AT THIS STAGE



REGIONAL AIRLINES MAY REQUIRE A SUBSIDY



SHOULD SUBSIDY BE PROVIDED



SHOULD NORMAL CARRIERS TAKE CARE OF REGIONAL NEEDS



IF REGIONAL AIRLINES ARE TO BE DEVELOPED TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY IN THE REGION, WHAT SHOULD BE CRITERIA FOR JUDGING CONNECTIVITY

PRIVATISATION OF AIR INDIA 

A FEW YEARS AGO GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO PRIVATE THE NATIONAL CARRIERS AIR INDIA AND INDIAN AIRLINES



SOMEHOW THIS DID NOT GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF ADMINISTRATIVE REASONS



RECENTLY BOTH AIRLINES HAVE BEEN MERGED



SHOULD THE NEW AIRLINE BE PRIVATIZED



IF SO, FULLY OR PARTIALLY



OPTIONS ARE NO PRIVATISATION, FULL PRIVATISATION, MAJORITY PRIVATISATION, MINORITY PRIVATIZATION, NO PRIVATISATION

ROLE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN AIRPORTS 

MUMBAI AND DELHI AIRPORTS HAVE BEEN PRIVATISED THROUGH LEASING ROUTE. THE PERIOD OF LEASE IS 30 YEARS WITH PROVISION FOR EXTENSION OF ANOTHER 30 YEARS



THE SHARE OF AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA IN THE EQUITY OF LEASING COMPANY IS 26%



GREENFIELD AIRPORTS AT BANGALORE AND HYDERABAD HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION AND ARE OPERATIONAL. THE CONCESSION PERIOD IS 30 YEARS WITH PROVISION FOR EXTENSION FOR ANOTHER 30 YEARS



GOVERNMENT SHARE IN EQUITY OF LEASING COMPANY IS 26%:13% CENTRE AND 13% STATE



KOLKATA AND CHENNAI ARE TO BE DEVELOPED DIRECTLY BY AAI AS PER THE WISH OF CONCERNED STATE GOVERNMENTS



CITY SIDE OF 35 NON-METRO AIRPORTS ARE TO BE PRIVATISED



THE EMPLOYEES OF THE AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA FAVOUR DEVELOPMENT OF AIRPORTS BY THE AUTHORITY



AAI’S TRACK RECORD OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT IS NOT VERY GOOD DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS



THERE IS NO ONE MODEL FOR PRIVATE PARTICIPATION IN AIRPORTS



WHAT MODEL SHOULD BE USED FOR MODERNISATION OF REMAINING AIRPORTS

ECONOMIC REGULATION 

ECONOMIC REGULATION OF AIRPORTS IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL AS AIRPORTS ARE IN THE NATURE OF MONOPOLY



MOST COUNTRIES HAVE REGULATORY INSTITUTIONS FOR AIRPORTS BUT THERE IS NO SINGLE MODEL



ICAO ALSO FAVOURS REGULATION



AN AIRPORT ECONOMIC REGULATORY AUTHORITY IS PROPOSED TO BE ESTABLISHED IN INDIA SOON



THIS WILL LOOK INTO MAINLY AERONAUTICAL CHARGES



SHOULD IT LOOK INTO NON-AERONAUTICAL CHARGES



SHOULD THIS REGULATORY AUTHORITY ALSO LOOK INTO REGULATION OF DOMESTIC AIR SERVICES



OR REGULATION OF DOMESTIC AIR SERVICES BE LEFT TO AIRLINES FOR SELF REGULATION AS AT PRESENT OR TO THE COMPETITION COMMISSION

SAFETY AND SECURITY 

FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY STATE IS RESPONSIBLE



AT AIRPORTS THE FACILITIES ARE PROVIDED BY THE OPERATOR WHICH WILL IN FUTURE BE INCREASINGLY BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR



THE AIRPORTS ARE IN THE NATURE OF MONOPOLY



THE PRIVATE MONOPOLY UNLESS PROPERLY REGULATED COULD BE DANGEROUS



THE TENDENCY OF PRIVATE OPERATOR IS TO MAXIMISE PROFIT



ONE OF THE WAYS THE PROFIT CAN BE MAXIMISED IS TO CUT CORNERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO SAFETY AND SECURITY



SAFETY AND SECURITY ARE VERY IMPORTANT



ICAO HAS INTRODUCED SAFETY AUDIT



HOWEVER STATE HAS TO PLAY AN EFFECTIVE ROLE

MODULE 4 – PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES - CONTENTS 

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRPORTS



PLANNING PHILOSOPHY



MASTER PLAN



STEPS IN PLANNING PROCESS OF AIRPORTS



TRAFFIC FORECASTS



PLANNING FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES



OTHER CONSIDERATIONS



ANCILLARY SERVICES



CITY SIDE ACCESS



GUIDELINES FOR SETTING UP GREENFIELD AIRPORT



DUAL AIRPORTS OPERATIONS

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRPORTS - (1) 

AIRPORT IS JOINT PRODUCT



THERE ARE SEVERAL AGENCIES INVOLVED IN AIRPORT OPERATIONS



APART FROM THE AIRPORT OPERATOR THE AGENCIES INCLUDE AIRLINE OPERATORS, REGULATORY BODIES, SECURITY AGENCIES AND CONCESSIONAIRES. THESE AGENCIES ARE PARTNERS IN THE AIRPORT BUSINESS



UNLIKE OTHER BUSINESS, THE PECULIARITY OF AIRPORT PARTNERSHIP IS THE AIRPORT OWNER/OPERATOR HAS NO CHOICE TO SELECT ITS PARTNERS AS THEY ARE ALREADY SPECIFIED EXCEPT THE CONCESSIONAIRES. EVERY PLAN HAS TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE AGENCIES



AS MENTIONED EARLIER SAFETY AND SECURITY ARE VERY IMPORTANT



MONOPOLY CHARACTER



AIRPORTS ARE CAPITAL INTENSIVE AS THEY REQUIRE LARGE AREA OF LAND, TERMINAL BUILDINGS, RUNWAYS, TAXIWAY, PARKING STANDS



APART FROM HIGH CAPITAL COST OF DEVELOPING THE FACILITIES, THE FIXED COST OF MANAGEMENT IS ALSO HIGH

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRPORTS – (2) 

THE INVESTMENT IS LUMPY



THE INVESTMENTS ARE LARGELY SUNK IN THE GROUND



IF THE FACILITY IS NOT UTILIZED THERE IS DEAD LOSS. IF UNDER-UTILIZED THERE IS STILL A LOSS



AIRPORT FACILITIES CANNOT BE SHIFTED TO ANOTHER LOCATION OR AIRPORT



AS IT IS A SERVICE INDUSTRY, THE CAPACITY CANNOT BE STORED



LONG GESTATION PERIOD. AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION TAKES 3-4 YEARS TO COMPLETE. GREENFIELD AIRPORTS TAKE LONGER TIME



ON THE OTHER HAND AIRLINES ARE MORE FLEXIBLE AS THE AIRCRAFT ARE MOBILE



THE CONCLUSION IS THAT PLANNING FOR AIRPORTS REQUIRES GRATER CARE THAN PLANNING FOR AIRLINES OR FOR SIMILAR OTHER BUSINESS

PLANNING PHILOSOPHY 

THE MOST EFFICIENT PLAN FOR THE AIRPORT IS WHICH PROVIDES THE REQUIRED CAPACITY AND FACILITIES IN A BALANCED MANNER FOR AIRCRAFT, PASSENGERS, CARGO AND VEHICLE MOVEMENTS, WITH MAXIMUM CONVENIENCE TO PASSENGERS, OPERATORS, STAFF AND OTHER USERS AT LOWEST CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS



BEST PLAN IS THAT WHICH PROVIDES OPTIMUM CAPACITY TO BE DEVELOPED IN PHASES BUT IN ADVANCE



A LITTLE HIGHER CAPACITY IS BETTER THAN LESS CAPACITY



PLANNING OF AIRPORTS IS COMPLICATED BY THE DIVERSITY OF FACILITIES AND SERVICES, WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE MOVEMENT OF AIRCRAFT, PASSENGER AND CARGO AND THE GROUND VEHICLES ASSOCIATED THEM



THE REQUIREMENT IS INTEGRATION



MODERN DAY AIRPORTS ARE BECOMING COMMERCIAL COMPLEXES. THESE ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO BE TAKEN CARE OFF



ADEQUATE SPACE SHOULD BE EARMARKED FOR COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES BUT NOT AT THE COST OF ESSENTIAL FACILITIES OR SAFETY

MASTER PLAN OF AIRPORTS 

GENERALLY AIRPORT PLAN IS CALLED A MASTER PLAN



GENERALLY ACCEPTED DEFINITION OF MASTER PLAN IS THAT IT PRESENTS THE PLANNER’S CONCEPTION OF THE ULTIMATE DEVELOPMENT OF A SPECIFIC AIRPORT



NORMALLY, A MASTER PLAN COVERS A PERIOD OF 20-25 YEARS BUT CAN BE LESS



MASTER PLAN IS TAKEN AS A GUIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL FACILITIES OF AN AIRPORT



ALSO IT IS A GUIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LAND AREA AROUND THE AIRPORT AND DETERMINATION OF ACCESS REQUIREMENT

STEPS IN PLANNING PROCESS 

PREPARE INVENTORY OF EXISTING FACILITIES AND SERVICES



MAKE TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST



DETERMINE GROSS FACILITY REQUIREMENTS AND PRELIMINARY TIME-PHASED DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME



EVALUATE EXISTING AND POTENTIAL CONSTRAINTS



DEVELOP ALTERNATIVE PROPOSALS



TEST DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES



PREPARE COST OF FACILITIES



DETERMINE PRIORITY OF VARIOUS ELEMENTS



DIVIDE MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT INTO SUITABLE PHASES



MAKE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS



SELECT MOST APPROPRIATE AND SUITABLE ALTERNATIVE



CONSULT USERS OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES

TRAFFIC FORECASTS 

TRAFFIC FORECAST IS THE HEART OF AIRPORT PLANNING



THREE BASIC METHODS

TREND ANALYSIS  ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS  INDUSTRY SURVEY AND JUDGMENTAL 



TRAFFIC FORECAST IS ANNUAL OR SEASONAL



FOR AIRPORT PLANNING, ANNUAL OR SEASONAL TRAFFIC IS LESS IMPORTANT



WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC, WHICH IS CALCULATED THROUGH A SURVEY, OR EMPIRICAL METHOD-3 TO 5% OF THE ANNUAL TRAFFIC



FOR AIRPORT PLANNING IT IS NOT THE HIGHEST PEAK BUT 30TH OR 40TH PEAK

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 

ALTERNATE AIRPORTS IN THE REGION: EXISTING AND PROPOSED



ALTERNATE MODES OF TRANSPORT: EXISTING AND PROPOSED



SELECTION OF SITE



BROAD DETERMINATION OF LAND AREA REQUIRED



FACTORS ARE: RUNWAY LENGTH, RUNWAY ORIENTATION, NUMBER OF RUNWAYS, SUFFICIENT LAND FOR FUTURE, LEAST CROSS WIND, NO OBSTRUCTION, WEATHER, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS, COST CONSIDERATION, SLOPE, NOT VERY HIGH ALTITUDE, WAY FROM BUILT UP AREAS, BUT NOT VERY FAR FROM THE TOWN OR DEMAND CENTRES



THERE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT SCOPE FOR FURTHER EXPANSION



SUFFICIENT LAND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES



FOR LOCATION ALSO CONSULT USERS

PLANNING FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES 

RUNWAY, APRON AND TAXIWAY PLANNING



FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND OTHER BUILDINGS ON THE AIRSIDE



PLANNING FOR GATES AND AEROBRIDGES



PLANNING FOR PASSENGER TERMINAL AND CARGO TERMINAL BUILDING



PLANNING FOR UTILITIES AND ANCILLARY SERVICES



PLANNING FOR COMMERCIAL SERVICES



LEVEL OF ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC DETERMINES THE LEVEL OF SERVICES

ANCILLARY SERVICES 

INTERNAL ROADS



WATER SUPPLY



ELECTRIC SUPPLY



SEWERAGE



STORM WATER DRAINS



CONSERVANCY SERVICES



FACILITIES FOR AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES, CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION, SECURITY AND OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES

CITY SIDE ACCESS 

NORMALLY FACILITIES OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT BOUNDARY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES



BUT PROPER ACCESS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE AIRPORT



CLOSE COORDINATION WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES REQUIRED.



THESE DAYS RAIL CONNECTION IS BEING DISCUSSED. THIS OPTION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR LARGER AIRPORTS



GOOD ROADS REQUIRED



IT COULD BE EXPRESSWAY OR A DEDICATED ROAD



ADEQUATE CAR PARKING SPACE



THESE DAYS AIRPORTS ARE ALSO MAKING CONTRIBUTION FOR PROVIDING GOOD ACCESS



DIAL IS MEETING A PART OF THE COST OF METRO CONNECTION

POLICY GUIDELINES FOR SETTING UP GREENFIELD AIRPORTS (1997) (1) 

A GREENFIELD AIRPORT MAY BE PERMITTED WHERE AN EXISTING AIRPORT IS UNABLE TO MEET THE PROJECTED REQUIREMENTS OF TRAFFIC OR A NEW FOCAL POINT OF TRAFFIC EMERGES WITH SUFFICIENT VIABILITY



IT CAN BE ALLOWED BOTH AS A REPLACEMENT FOR AN EXISTING AIRPORT OR FOR SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION



THIS ASPECT WILL HAVE TO BE CLEARLY SPELT OUT IN THE NOTICE INVITING BIDS



NO GREENFIELD AIRPORT WILL NORMALLY BE ALLOWED WITHIN AN AERIAL DISTANCE OF 150 KILOMETERS OF AN EXISTING AIRPORT.



WHERE IT IS ALLOWED AS A SECOND AIRPORT IN THE SAME CITY OR CLOSE VICINITY, THE PARAMETERS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF TRAFFIC BETWEEN THE TWO AIRPORTS WILL BE CLEARLY SPELT OUT



THE GOVERNMENT MAY, WHILE PERMITTING A GREENFIELD AIRPORT, DECIDE WHETHER IT WILL BE IN THE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SECTORS OR BE TAKEN UP AS A JOINT VENTURE

POLICY GUIDELINES FOR SETTING UP GREENFIELD AIRPORT (2) 

RECENTLY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA HAS NOTIFIED POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF GREENFIELD AIRPORTS



ANY ONE CAN BE THE PROMOTER OF A GREENFIELD AIRPORT



THE PROMOTER AFTER PRELIMINARY CLEARANCE OF MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION WILL COMMISSION A PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY TO ASSESS THE OVERALL POTENTIAL OF THE PROJECT



THE PROMOTER SHALL SUBMIT THE PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT TO THE MINISTRY FOR FURTHER APPROVAL



THE COST OF THE STUDY WILL BE BORNE BY THE PROMOTER



BASED ON PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY THE PROMOTER SHALL AGAIN APPROACH THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT FOR PRELIMINARY CLEARANCE FOR UNDERTAKING A DETAILED FEASIBILITY STUDY



AFTER APPROVAL DETAILED TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY WILL BE UNDERTAKEN



THE TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE MINISTRY FOR APPROVAL

POLICY GUIDELINES FOR SETTING UP GREENFIELD AIRPORT (3) 

SITE SELECTION WILL BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE PROMOTER AT PRE-FEASIBILITY STAGE IN CONSULTATION WITH DGCA, AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA, MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT & FORESTS AND MINISTRY OF DEFENCE



BASED ON TEFS AND STATE GOVERNMENT/PROMOTERS’ RECOMMENDATION CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WILL CONSIDER GIVING APPROVAL AS PER EXTANT POLICY



THE APPROVAL WILL BE GIVEN BY THE UNION CABINET



THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WILL THEN GO AHEAD TO DEVELOP DETAILED DESIGN OF THE PROJECT



A STEERING COMMITTEE IS SET UP BY STATE GOVT/PROMOTER COMPRISING OF OFFICIALS OF THE STATE GOVT AND THE MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION AS THIS STAGE INVOLVES COORDINATION AND ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES



THE STATE GOVERNMENT/PROMOTER SHALL SET UP SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLE WHOLLY OWNED BY IT



AFTER THE SELECTION OF SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS, THE PRIVATE INVESTOR WILL BE INDUCTED IN THE SPV WITH 74 PERCENT EQUITY SHARES

POLICY GUIDELINES FOR SETTING UP GREENFIELD AIRPORT (4) 

THE STATE GOVERNMENT AS A PRIMARY PROMOTER MAY CONSIDER JOINT VENTURE WITH PRIVATE INVESTORS THROUGH PPP MODEL



IN CASE IT PROPOSES TO HAVE JOINT VENTURE, IT SHALL EE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT TO CHOOSE PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS THROUGH A TRANSPARENT COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS



STATE GOVERNMENT/AAI MAY ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE JV WITH EQUITY WHICH WILL BE LIMITED TO 13 PERCENT EACH



SELECTION WILL BE MADE ON TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL CRITERIA



CENTRAL GOVERNMENT IS DEVELOPING VARIOUS MODEL AGREEMENTS



THE SEQUENCE OF SIGNING AGREEMENTS HAS BEEN OUTLINED IN THE GUIDELINES



IN THE CASE OF NAVI MUMBAI AIRPORT THESE PROCEDURES ARE BEING FOLLOWED

TRAFFIC FORECAST FOR GREENFIELD AIRPORT 

THE TRAFFIC FOR A NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORT WITH THE EXISTING AIRPORT CONTINUING TO OPERATE WILL BE DETERMINED BY



DIVERTED TRAFFIC



NEW TRAFFIC GENERATED



OTHER AIRPORTS IN THE REGION



EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SURFACE CONNECTION



FUTURE GROWTH WHICH MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE SAME AS FOR THE EXISTING AIRPORT



GOVERNMENT POLICY MAY ALSO AFFECT THE TRAFFIC AT THE NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORT SUCH AS BILATERAL AGREEMENTS, ETC

PLANNING FOR DUAL AIRPORT SYSTEM 

IN INDIA WE HAVE ONLY ONE AIRPORT IN A CITY



THIS ISSUE AROSE WHEN NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORTS WERE BEING PLANNED AT BANGALORE AND HYDERABAD. IT WAS DECIDED TO CLOSE THE OLD EXISTING AIRPORT WHEN THE NEW AIRPORT COMMENCED OPERATIONS



THE RATIONALE BEHIND THIS DECISION WAS THAT BOTH AIRPORTS WILL NOT BE FINANCIALLY VIABLE



THIS DECISION HAS BEEN QUESTIONED IN VARIOUS FORUMS, ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME OF THE OPENING F NEW AIRPORTS



TIME IS COMING WHEN WE WILL HAVE MORE THAN ONE AIRPORT IN A CITY



MUMBAI MAY BE THE FIRST METROPOLITAN CITY TO HAVE TWO AIRPORTS



HAVING MORE THAN ONE AIRPORT WILL RAISE SEVERAL ISSUES WHICH WILL NEED TO BE TACKLED

GLOBAL PRACTICES FOR DUAL, MULTIPLE AIRPORTS 

MOST OF THE CITIES IN THE WORLD HAVE SINGLE AIRPORTS



HOWEVER, MANY CITIES HAVE MORE THAN ONE AIRPORT



SOME EXAMPLES ARE:



LONDON: HEATHROW, GATWICK, STANSTED, LUTON AND LONDON CITY



PARIS: CHARLES DE GAULLE AND ORLY



BERLIN: TEGEL, SCHONEFELD AND TEMPELHOF



NEW YORK: JFK AND NEWARK



WASHINGTON DC: WASHINGTON-NATIONAL, DULLES AND BALTIMORE



CHINA PEARL DELTA REGION: GUANGZHOU, HONG KONG, BAIYUN, SHENZHEN, MACAU AND ZHUHAI



TOKYO: NARITA AND HANEDA

NEW AIRPORT BUT EXISTING AIRPORT GETS CLOSED 

IN RECENT YEARS MANY NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORTS HAVE BEEN BUILT BUT EXISTING AIRPORT CLOSED



SAFDARJUNG AIRPORT IN DELHI WAS CLOSED WHEN PALAM AIRPORT COMMENCED OPEATIONS



JUHU AIRPORT IN MUMBAI WAS CLOSED FOR SCHEDULED OPERATIONS WHEN SANTA CRUZ WAS DEVELOPED



OLD HONG KONG AIRPORT WAS CLOSED WHEN NEW AIRPORT WAS CLOSED



OLD DON MUANG BANGKOK AIRPORT WAS CLOSED WHEN NEW AIRPORT SUBARNABHUMI WAS COMMISSIONED ALTHOUGH OPENING OF THE OLD AIRPORT IS BEING RECONSIDERED



OLD SINGAPORE AIRPORT WAS CLOSED WHEN NEW AIRPORT WAS COMMISSIONED



OLD AIRPORT IN SEOUL WAS CLOSED WHEN NEW AIRPORT WAS COMMISSIONED



EXISTING HYDERABAD AND BANGALORE AIRPORTS WILL HAVE BEEN CLOSED AFTER NEW AIRPORTS OPENED

RATIONALE BEHIND DUAL OR MULTIPLE AIRPORTS 

HISTORICAL. NOT WELL PLANNED



LIMITS TO EXPANSION OF EXISTING AIRPORT



POLITICAL AND SOCIAL



NARITA AIRPORT WAS DEVELOPED BECAUSE HANEDA HAD LIMITED CAPACITY



MACAU WAS DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS



EVEN IN GOA ANOTHER AIRPORT IS BEING CONSIDERED ON POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DUAL AIRPORT SYSTEM 

LEVEL OF TRAFFIC AND LOCAL CONDITIONS MAIN DETERMINANTS



GENERALLY SINGLE AIRPORT IS PREFERABLE TO DUAL AIRPORT BECAUSE COST OF TWO AIRPORTS IS HIGH AND OPERATIONAL COST IS ALSO HIGH. MAJOR AIRLINES HAVE TO DEVELOP FACILITIES AT TWO AIRPORTS. MANY PASSENGERS ARE INCONVENIENCED WHO HAVE TO CHANGE FLIGHT



HOWEVER, IF THE EXISTING AIRPORT CAN NOT BE EXPANDED BECAUSE OF ANY REASON SECOND AIRPORT IS UNAVOIDABLE



A SECOND AIRPORT CAN BE ADVANTAGEOUS IF A NEW AREA IS DEVELOPED



A SECOND AIRPORT MAY BE DESIRABLE IF THE TRAFFIC REACHES A PARTICULAR LEVEL



TWO AIRPORTS CAN BE FINANCIALLY VIABLE AFTER CERTAIN LEVEL OF TRAFFIC IS REACHED

AIR TRAFFIC FORECASTS – SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS 

FORECASTING TRAFFIC AT THE NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORT IN DUAL AIRPORT SYSTEM IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN FOR AN EXISTING AIRPORT OR A NEW AIRPORT WHEN EXISTING AIRPORT IS CLOSED



PART OF THE TRAFFIC IS DIVERTED TRAFFIC



AIRLINES MAY BE RELUCTANT TO MOVE TO THE NEW AIRPORT. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT



NEW TRAFFIC GENERATED



GROWTH IN TRAFFIC



GOVERNMENT POLICY SUCH AS BILATERAL AGREEMENTS



EXISTENCE OF OTHER AIRPORTS IN THE REGION



DETAILED SURVEY OF THE HINTERLAND OF THE NEW AIRPORT AND ORIGIN DESTINATION SURVEY OF THE TRAFFIC AT EXISTING AIRPORT WILL HELP



A GOOD BALANCED JUDGMENT WILL BE REQUIRED

MODULE 5 - FINANCING AND COST RECOVERY - CONTENTS 

GLOBAL FINANCIAL SITUATION OF THE AIRPORTS



IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND COST RECOVERY



SOURCES OF CAPITAL COST FINANCING



NEED FOR COST RECOVERY



SOURCES OF AIRPORT REVENUE: AERONAUTICAL AND NONAERONAUTICAL



PRINCIPLES FOR FIXATION OF AIRPORT CHARGES



ICAO PRINCIPLES OF COST RECOVERY

GLOBAL FINANCIAL SITUATION OF AIRPORTS 

ICAO MADE A STUDY OF FINANCIAL SITUATION OF AIRPORTS IN 72 CONTRACTING STATES FOR 2005



OVERALL AIRPORTS WERE FOUND PROFITABLE JUDGING FROM THE INCOME/EXPENSES RATIO OF 121 PERCENT



INCOME FROM NON-AERONAUTICAL ACTIVITIES ACCOUNTED, ON AN AVERAGE, FOR 40 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL INCOME



AIRPORTS WITH LARGE TRAFFIC VOLUME THE NON-AERONAUTICAL SHARE AVERAGED 46 PERCENT



CAPITAL INVESTMENTS WERE REPORTED FOR 383 AIRPORTS IN 63 STATES AND AMOUNTED TO US$ 18.3 BILLION OR US$ 390 PER TRAFFIC UNIT



AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES INCOME/EXPENSES RATIO WAS 105 PERCENT

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS ESSENTIAL FOR COST RECOVERY 

FULL COST RECOVERY OF AIRPORTS FACILITIES IS ALWAYS FAVOURED



THESE DAYS STATES ARE RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE AIRPORTS



NEVERTHELESS IT MUST BE RECOGNISED THAT AIRPORTS WITH SMALLER TRAFFIC MAY NOT BE VIABLE AND NEED TO BE SUBSIDISED



A PROPER FINANCIAL ANALYSIS BEFORE TAKING ANY MAJOR AIRPORT PROJECT WILL BE OF CONSIDERABLE HELP

SOURCES OF CAPITAL COST FINANCING 

GOVERNMENT FUNDING



INTERNAL RESOURCES GENERATED BY AIRPORTS



LOAN FROM INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS



LOAN/GRANT FROM FRIENDLY GOVERNMENTS



LOAN FROM BANKS/FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS



EQUITY FROM PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPANTS



COMBINATION OF ABOVE SOURCES

NEED FOR COST RECOVERY 

AIRPORTS HAVE TO INCUR EXPENDITURE



THESE INCLUDE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND RECURRING EXPENDITURE



SOMEONE HAS TO PAY



USERS ARE THE MOST APPROPRIATE BODIES TO PAY



IF HE DOES NOT PAY THE FACILITIES AND SERVICES CANNOT BE MAINTAINED



THE PRESENT CONCEPT IS “USER PAYS”.



EVEN IN REGARD TO ROADS WHICH WERE CONSIDERED PUBLIC UTILITIES AT A TIME TOLLS ARE BEING LEVIED AND USERS ARE PAYING

SOURCES OF AIRPORT REVENUE AERONAUTICAL



THE SOURCES OF AIRPORT REVENUES ARE ESSENTIALLY DIVIDED INTO: (A) AERONAUTICAL AND (B) NON-AERONAUTICAL



AERONAUTICAL REVENUE INCLUDES:



LANDING CHARGES



PARKING CHARGES



PASSENGER SERVICE CHARGES



CARGO CHARGES



SECURITY CHARGES



NOISE ABETMENT CHARGES

 

SOURCES OF AIRPORT REVENUESNON-AERONAUTICAL 

CHARGES OTHER THAN AERONAUTICAL CHARGES ARE CONSIDERED NON-AERONAUTICAL



MAJOR NON-AERONAUTICAL CHARGES ARE:



DUTY FREE AND OTHER SHOPS



CAR PARKING



HOTELS AND RESTAURANT



ADVERTISEMENTS IN TERMINAL AND OUTSIDE



FUEL THROUGH PUT CHARGE



GROUND HANDLING CHARGE



FLIGHT CATERING CHARGE



VISITORS ENTRY FEE



OTHER COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES

ICAO PRINCIPLES OF COST RECOVERY 

EVERY AIRPORT IN A CONTRACTING STATE WHICH IS OPEN TO PUBLIC USE BY ITS NATIONAL AIRCRAFT SHALL LIKEWISE, BE OPEN UNDER UNIFORM CONDITIONS TO THE AIRCRAFT OF ALL THE CONTRACTING STATES.



THE LIKE UNIFORM CONDITIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE USE, BY AIRCRAFT OF EVERY CONTRACTING STATE, OF ALL AIR NAVIGATION FACILITIES, INCLUDING RADIO AND METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES, WHICH MAY BE PROVIDED FOR PUBLIC USE FOR THE SAFETY AND EXPEDITION OF AIR NAVIGATION.



ANY CHARGES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED OR PERMITTED TO BE IMPOSED BY A CONTRACTING STATE FOR THE USE OF SUCH AIRPORTS AND AIR NAVIGATION FACILITIES BY THE AIRCRAFT OF ANY OTHER CONTRACTING STATE SHALL NOT BE HIGHER,



AS TO AIRCRAFT NOT ENGAGED IN SCHEDULED INTERNATIONAL SERVICES, THAN THOSE THAT WOULD BE PAID BY ITS NATIONAL AIRCRAFT OF THE SAME CLASS ENGAGED IN SIMILAR OPERATIONS, AND



AS TO AIRCRAFT ENGAGED IN SCHEDULED INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES, THAN THOSE THAT WOULD BE PAID BY ITS NATIONAL AIRCRAFT ENGAGED IN SIMILAR INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES.



NO FEES, DUES OR OTHER CHARGES SHALL BE IMPOSED BY ANY CONTRACTING STATE IN RESPECT SOLELY OF THE RIGHT OF TRANSIT OVER OR ENTRY INTO OR EXIT FROM ITS TERRITORY OF ANY AIRCRAFT OF A CONTRACTING STATE OR PERSONS OR PROPERTY THEREON.

ICAO PRINCIPLES FOR FIXATION OF AIRPORT CHARGES 

FOR FIXATION OF AERONAUTICAL CHARGES COST IS THE MAIN BASIS



HOWEVER, PRE-FUNDING MAY BE ACCEPTED IN SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WITH STRICT SAFEGUARDS



FOR NON-AERONAUTICAL CHARGES REVENUES CAN BE MAXIMISED



THE SURPLUS FROM NON-AERONAUTICAL CHARGES IS GENERALLY USED FOR REDUCING CHARGES FOR AERONAUTICAL SERVICES



THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF AIRPORT CHARGES IS THE COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES



HOWEVER, USING SURPLUSES FROM NON-AERONAUTICAL SERVICES FOR EXPANSION OF FACILITIES IS POSSIBLE
