Indian Aviation Industry

In December 1912, the first domestic air route was unwrapped between Delhi and Karachi by the Indian State Air Services (in collaboration with Imperial Airways of the UK). After the Indian aviation sector underwent liberalization in late nineties, it has seen a flurry of private service airlines entering the industry. The aviation sector in India holds immense potential for growth; more so because it receives great impetus from the booming tourism industry driven by higher disposable incomes and favorable demographics. Also, the robust policy regime created by the Indian Government acts as the blood-line of this industry. While the last five years have witnessed significant investments by large and small domestic companies, indigenous aerospace and defense industry has been evolving in a big way.

Comparatively, e-ticket sales from own website cost an airline only ~3% of
ticket price For every direct booking from their website, airlines save an estimated US$ 4 plus 5% agency commission

Airlines can also turn their websites into one stop shops for all travel related services, generating additional revenue

Access to new markets

As airlines complete 5 years of domestic operations, those with 20+ aircraft will get international access
Access to new revenue streams Help even out the seasonality factor of domestic operations Spread the risk of downturn in a single market

The opportunity for some will be a challenge for the existing international players The risk cycle of increased competition, low yields, and growth transferred to the international arena
