Airline companies in India developing a framework for a comprehensive analysis of strategy, operations and finances

Abstract

As with many other industries in India, its aviation market is among the fastest-growing in the world, with a CAGR of 18%. Both Airbus and Boeing are extremely optimistic about the growth prospects of this market, estimating that it will need from 1000-1150 new aircrafts in the next two decades. At the same time, airport infrastructure all over the country is improving – while the airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore have already been modernized, other such projects for key airports like Chennai, Kokata and Pune are in the pipeline. However the long-term growth prospects are just one side of the story. As recent times have proven, this market can be highly unstable and senstitive to macroeconomic boom-and-bust cycles.
