Section B: Case lets (40 Marks)
• This section consists of Case lets.
• Answer all the questions.
• Each Caselet carries 20 marks.
• Detailed information should form the part of your answer (Word limit 150 to 200 words).
Caselet 1
The government nationalized the airlines in 1953, with enactment of Air Corporation Act. Assets of nine
existing air companies were transferred to the two new corporations Air India International and the Indian
Airlines. After 40 years, in 1994 Air Corporations Act was repealed ending the monopoly of the national
air corporation and enabling entry of private operators.
The liberalization in civil aviation industry began in 1986 with the introduction of Air Taxi system to
boost development of tourism. Though there were several restrictions relating to seat capacity, airports,
timing and fare, the scheme was liberalized over a period of time. Even the fare was totally deregulated,
allowing air operators to change any fare.
With Open Sky Policy many private operators began operations in the domestic sector. The carriage
increased from a modest 15,000 passengers in 1990 to more than 0.4 million in 1992.Of the total of 12.23
million passengers carried on the domestic sector, private carriers accounted for about 5.7 million
passengers. The civil aviation industry got a major boost with the announcement of airport Infrastructure
Policy in November, 1997 which envisaged development of international hubs and regional hubs to
provide a hub and spoke arrangement connecting all airports. Infrastructure development of airport was
opened up for public and private participation. It allowed 74% foreign equity participation in the airport
infrastructure with automatic approval and 100% equity on a case-to-case basis.
On the side of infrastructure, the Airports Authority of India was formed in 1995 by merging International
Airports Authority of India and National airports Authority to accelerate the integrated development
expansion and modernization of the operational, terminal and cargo facilities at the international and
domestic airports and also at civil enclaves.
There were 450 Airports in the country. Of these, 120 airports were managed by airports Authority of
India (AAI), which included 12 international airports.80 civil airports and 28 civil enclaves at the Defence
airports. The existing airports at Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmadabad, Goa, Amritsar, Guwahati and
Cochin airport at Nedumbassary had been recently declared as international airports. Government had
also permitted construction of new airports on joint venture basis at Bangalore, Hyderabad and Goa.
Further AAI had identified nine airports for expansion/up gradation. These airports were Bombay, Delhi,
Chennai, Calcutta, Hyderabad, Trivandrum, Ahmadabad, Goa and Bangalore. A number of airports of
international standard were coming up in various places including Amritsar, Calicut, Jaipur and Srinagar.
The AAI had drawn ambitious long term plans to meet challenges posed by ever increasing air traffic and
advancement in aircraft technology. Some of the major plans for implementation were:
• Replacement of ground-based communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) with satellite
based CNS system.
• Establishment of differential Global Positioning system (DGPS).
• Automation in the Air Traffic control Services, and
• Establishment of Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS).

1. What are the major plans for implementation to meet challenges of increasing air traffic and
advancement in technology?
2. Which types of restrictions were present in the development of tourism in the beginning of
liberalization?
3. What is the current status of available total airports in India?
4. Which airports had recently been declared as international airport and also state the name of
airports that had been identified for expansion.
Caselet 2
Indian airports face two big problems. One, poor infrastructure. Two, under- utiliasation of available
equipment and ground infrastructure. It is the second issue that’s become a pet peeve of airline operators.
They point out that this underutilization causes delays and often forces their planes to circle endlessly
while waiting for permission to land. In the bargain, they end up wasting precious fuel.
In Delhi, points out one airline operator, the secondary runway (09/27) is not used for departure. Ditto for
Mumbai. Using them could cut down on the ‘waiting time ‘of planes before takeoff during peak hours.
Then again, the runways are closed for inordinately long periods for maintenance work. In Delhi, the
main runway is closed for two hours daily for maintenance. Says one airline operator: ‘This makes no
sense. Clearly, the quality of maintenance being done is very poor. Very few countries with a single
runway close their runways during the day at all. If at all it closes it is during lean periods.” He argues
that the handing out of contracts by AAI is often done on criteria other than competence. That is why the
work has to be done over and over again.
In its draft report, the Roy committee also commented on the issue. It pointed out that using better quality
paint could dramatically reduce the frequency of painting the runways and the taxiways. It recommended
the use of chemicals for removing rubber deposits (which happens due to friction caused during
touchdown) on runways. Many feel that the flexible pavements of the taxiways and the apron in Mumbai
and Delhi need to be converted to rigid pavements to avoid frequent maintenance work.
Industry sources say that the airspace and airports are also often closed for military activities.whn this
happen, small aircrafts and helicopters are dumped on the main runways, making the system even more
inefficient. Aviation ministry officials say that some of the restricted space for military activities needs to
be made available for civil aviation.
Questions:
1. What are the big problems faced by Indian airports, give suitable examples of these problem?
2. What suggestions were given by the Roy Paul Committee to overcome these problems? How
these can be implemented?
