I take this opportunity to thank my faculty kalpana

maam for giving me such an opportunity of doing an

assignment in aviation. This subject actually gave me a clear picture of the aviation industry. Her suggestions in doing this assignment was

really helpful..

AVIATION ASSIGNMENT

• This assignment gives a good picture of aviation industry. It deals with various aspects of the industry as a whole. By doing this assignment I understood many factors that affect the growth of aviation industry. It covers different fields of aviation like low cost carriers, domestic airlines, economy status, different features of airbuses etc.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF AVIATION

INDUSTRY• Cost factor• Government policies• Economical changes• Competition in the sector

Low Cost Airlines

LOW COST AIRLINES

• An airline that offers generally low fares in exchange for eliminating many traditional passenger services.

• The concept originated in the United States before spreading to Europe in the early 1990s.

• The term originated within the airline industry referring to airlines with lower operating cost structure than their competitors.

• It is often applied to any carrier with low ticket prices and limited services.

Indian scenario in low cost airlines

• India’s first low-cost airline, AIR DECCAN started in August 25, 2003.

• Its cost was almost 30% less than those offered by its rivals such as Indian airlines and Jet airways.

• Success of Air Deccan has spurred the entry of more than a dozen low-cost airlines in India.

• Private airlines owns 76% of domestic traffic in India.

Spice JetSpice Jet

•A low cost airline based in Delhi.

•It started operation in May 2005.

•Earlier known as Royal Airways, it is a reincarnation of Modiluft.

•Established in June 2004.

•Started its operations in October 2005.

•Initially it started with 20 leased A320 airbuses and now its raised to 40.

Business tactics• A single passenger class.

• A single type of aeroplane for reducing training and servicing cost.

• Minimum set of optional equipments on the aeroplane

• Reducing cost of acquisition and maintenance.

• Simple fare scheme.

• Flying to cheaper, less congested secondary airports.

Cont…• Flying early in the morn or at night to avoid traffic

delays and take advantage of low landing fees.

• Fast turnaround times to allow maximum use of aircrafts.

• Simplified routes and encourage use of direct flights.

• Emphasis on direct sales of ticket.

• Employees working in multiple roles

• Aggressive fuel hedging programs

Comparison of fares between LCC/full service airline/rail

Operating cost and operating revenue

• Here we can clearly differentiate that the operating expense of full service airline is greater than its op.revenue but when other commercial airlines are considered its just the opposite.

HOW IT AFFECTS THE INDUSTRY

• Gives a thorough competition to other category airlines which in turn results in advantage to people.

• Reduced cost = More passengers.• More job opportunities booming up.• Reduction in operating cost and there by more

profit to airline industry.• Opening up of new international routes.• Overall economic growth.

Criticisms• Issue of unbundling of ancillary charges to make

headline fare appear lower.

• Some airlines charge additional fees for airport check-in, baggage check-in. handling charges, seat allocation and credit card processing etc.

• Impose high penalty charges for any carry-on bags exceeding their stipulations.

• Lcc can pose a serious threat on full service airlines, since the high cost structure of full-service carriers can prevent them from competing effectively on price.

How to get low fares in airlines?

• Book during sales period.

• Book well in advance.

• Fly off-peak season if possible.

• Price wars between airlines.

• Be creative with your routes.

• Know the airlines and go for a deal.

INCREASE IN DOMESTIC AIRLINES

• With the liberalization of aviation sector in India more domestic airlines were introduced.

• The increase in domestic airlines are affected by factors such as

1. Growing middle class and its purchasing power.

2. Low airfares offered by low cost air carriers.

3. Growth of tourism industry.

4. Increase in outbound travel.

5. Overall economic growth.

This is a graphical representation showing the variation in number of passengers traveled by air in different airlines.

Number of passengers in millions.

INDIAN ECONOMY

• Indian economy is one of the fastest growing economy in the world.

• Government is keen to support and encourage new industries into the economy.

• Although the world economy is facing great depression Indian economy is little affected by it.

• More emphasis is given to business plans of new entrants and conducting surveys on intervals.

INDIAN ECONOMY – AVIATION INDUSTRY

• With a growth rate of 18% pa, the Indian economy is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world.

• India has jumped to 9th position in world’s aviation market from 12th in 2006.

• According to recent estimates by The International Air Transport Association, Indian Civil Aviation market grew at a compound annual growth rate of 18% and was worth US$ 5.6 billion in 2008.

• By 2020, 400 million Indian passengers are likely to be airborne.

• By then Indian airports are expected to handle more than 100 million passengers including 60 million domestic passengers and around 3.4 million tonnes of cargo per annum.

• Indian carriers have a fleet size of 310 aircrafts, but have 480 aircrafts on order.

• Domestic air traffic is likely to more than double and touch 86.1 million passengers by 2010, up from 32.2 million in 2007.

• Government plans to invest US$ 9 billion to modernize existing airports by 2010.

• The government is also planning to develop around 300 unused airstrips.

Conclusion • In my assignment I’ve tried to present various

aspects of the aviation industry. For doing this assignment I’ve tried to collect maximum data available about this industry. This assignment deals with the present scenario in aviation industry. According to my view although the industry was facing a fall last year, it is currently gearing up. Due to the great depression in 2008 in world economy the aviation industry also strived hard to sustain. But due to the remedial measures it got, the industry has come back on its full strength when compared to any other industry. Aviation industry is booming up to regain all its past fruitfulness..
