Lessons from the regulation of air connectivity and Public Service Obligations in India! Recently, I attended the India Regional Air Mobility Conference in Delhi, delving into the local policies driving air connectivity. India's aviation market, one of the fastest-growing globally, has seen the launch of hundreds of new routes in recent years. Key to this success is the innovative UDAN-Scheme introduced by the Indian Government: - Focus on new airports without regular flights. - Airlines taking the lead in proposing new routes. - Tailored support for routes connecting tourist destinations. - Incentives for underserved states. - Reduction in airport charges. - Obligation for airlines to offer a percentage of tickets at regulated prices. - Temporary start-up aid. - Financing sourced from the industry, akin to universal service funds in Europe in telecoms and postal services. Are you awre of similar examples in aviation? UDAN has already facilitated the establishment of hundreds of new routes, yet opportunities for enhancement persist. Strengthening ties between Tier 2 and Tier 3 airports remains a focal point for further development. #AirConnectivity #UDANScheme #AviationRegulation #PublicServiceObligations #IndiaAviation #RegionalMobilityConference

Aviation companies in India are on a trajectory of remarkable growth, with over 450,000 domestic passengers in September'24, signaling substantial sector potential. Recent DGCA data for August 24 reports a 6% MOM and 5% YOY traffic growth, underlining positive trends. The upcoming peak season from October onwards, fueled by various travel segments like holidays, inbound foreign travel, and corporate traffic, paints a promising outlook for the next nine months. The sector's expansion is also bolstering international traffic, with Indian and foreign airlines ramping up capacities on international routes. The ongoing upgrades in airport infrastructure nationwide are driving increased passenger and cargo capacity, resulting in record-high profits for aviation-related companies. Moreover, the market has witnessed the entry of new players like EasyTrip, TBO Tech, IXIGO, and Eco mobility into public markets, underscoring the sector's vast potential and delivering significant returns to shareholders.
