Indian civil Aviation

*1920: Beginning of the aviation sector in India. *1929: JRD Tata, recipient of the ICAO Edward Warner Award in 1986, launches the first private airline in India. *1947: India wins Independence. *1948: ‘Air India International Limited’, formed as joint venture with the Government of India holding 49% equity. *1949: Air India International begins regular flights between Bombay and London.

BACKGROUND

2.

NATIONALIZATION OF AIRLINES *1953: Parliament enacts the Air Corporation Act, 1953 creating two independent airlines; “Air India International Ltd” the international carrier & “Indian Airlines Ltd” a largely domestic carrier; *Private airlines not allowed to function in the domestic sector. *Registered foreign international airlines permitted to enter India.

3.

INDIA LIBERALIZES HER ECONOMY *1990: The Government of India decides to deregulate her command economy structure by bringing in far reaching reforms. *1991: Liberalization of the aviation sector. * The Air Corporation Act, 1953 repealed paving the way for the opening up of the domestic sector and the disinvestment of the two public sector airlines. * New privately owned domestic airlines start functioning. 4.

AIR CARGO POLICY *1991:

India declares unilateral policy of ‘open sky’ for

international air cargo : * Any foreign operator permitted to carry cargo to and from India, without restriction on the number of flights and types of aircraft, to any airport in India with customs and immigration facilities, even without the existence of bilateral agreements.

5.

MANAGEMENT & CONTROL OF AIRPORTS *1971: All airports in India came under management & operation of two Government Authorities. *1985: All airports were brought under a single Authority, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) by Act of Parliament. *The regulatory control of civil aviation, however, continues to remain with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. 7.

MANAGEMENT & CONTROL OF AIRPORTS (cont.) *Proposal to lease metro airports to international operators to bring them in line with world class airports. *Federal Budget 2003 announces tax holidays to such infrastructure companies. 8.

DISINVESTMENT OF AIR INDIA & INDIAN AIRLINES *1999: Government of India sets up the Disinvestment Commission to recommend the disinvestment of Public Sector Undertakings. *Disinvestment Commission recommends the disinvestment of Air India & Indian Airlines. *2000: Cabinet approves proposal for the disinvestment of both airlines. 10.

Air craft Km flown from 1970-2007 In the international operations

Passenger numbers flown in international operations

CORRELATION   between the Aircraft Km flown and the passenger km flown=0.9626  This implies that there is a strong relation between the the distance travelled and passengers willing to travel each year remains linear  From the above graphs it is clear that there is a continuous increase iin the aircraft km flown and the passenger km flown 



From the regression analysis we took the Hyphothesis

In the case of aircraft km flown there is a steep increase from the year 2000-2001  In the case of passenger km flown there is a rapid increase from the year 2003-2004  This sudden increase is due to the private operations from the year 1995 onwards  It has taken 4-5 years to boost the operations and the passenger travel 

From the domestic operations, the no.of Aircraft km flown

Passenger Km flown from the domestic operations

Analysis The correlation between the domestic aircraft km flown and the passenger km flown =.9638  This implies that there is a positive relation between the aircraft km flown and the passenger number flown  Here from the graph aircraft km flown there is a immediate increase in its operations right from the year 1995 onwards ie, when the private flights are operated  In the case of number of passengers flown only from the year 2003 the number of passengers have increased 

Analysis(cond..) From these two operations no.of km flown in the domestic level is more than the no.of km flown in the operations of international operations  The private operations helped mostly the domestic passengers rather then the international operations 



Air india operations

analysis The co-relation between the revenue hours flown and the Available seat km is 0.99. This implies that there is a strong relation between the revenue hours and the available seat km.  The co-relation between the revenue hours flown and the Available tonne km=.9914 

Indian Airlines performance

The correlation between the revenue hours flown and the available km flown =.978  The correlation between the revenue hours flown and the available tonne km =0.991  This implies that the revenue hours flown and the available tonne are closely related. 
