INTRODUCTION

• Indian Aviation Industry has been one of the fastest-growing aviation industries in the world.

• It showed an impressive growth of 19 percent while considering 2008 global financial slowdown

• Less than 2 percent of India’s 1.27 billion population travels by air, which shows massive potential for growth

• As India is becoming a major destination, international travel has been rising which effect on commercial aviation in India

• These problems include high rise in ATF prices, increase in inflation rate, shortage in skill labour, entry of low air fare carriers and intense competition among the players.

• Technological Internet (Online facilities) Modernization of airports Satellite based Navigation system

Porter’s 5 forces of competition• Threat of new entrants :- High

entry and exist barriers.• Bargaining Power of buyers :-

Low in terms of switching cost.• Bargaining power of

suppliers:- The powers of suppliers are high.

• Threat of Substitutes:- Other means of transport poses little threat.

BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION

• Kingfisher

• Spice jet

• Air India

• Indigo

• Jet airways

CONSOLIDATIONS – MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS:

• Indian airlines and Air India – NACIL

• Jet Airways and Air Sahara – Jet Lite

• Kingfisher and Air Deccan

• NACIL, Jet Airways and Kingfisher controlling over 80% of the market currently.

Technology Intensity• Remote controlled airliners• Bio monitors• Remote video monitoring• Light guns to dazzle attackers• Bar code technology• Whole body imaging• The touch screen

Marketing Initiatives

• Less emphasis on television advertisements.

• More emphasis on magazines

which are available at airports.

• Heavy advertisement are done

by Kingfisher airlines domestically.

• Qatar airlines have spent the

highest advertisement budget this year.

Future Outlooks

• Growth being 18% as on 2011, in

spite of having global economic slowdown.

• Low cost carriers haven't done well,

recent being Kingfisher.

• India needs 3 times the amount

of airports in future.

• Fuel accounts to 38% of total operating cost.

Comparison

• Services - The services are almost

the same of our players with the

global players.

• Cost/pricing – Indian airlines are

relatively cheaper in terms of the

global personally.

• Quality – Indian airlines have in fact proven

superior in terms of quality.

Findings and conclusion

• Though Indian aviation t is doing well. It has a lot more problems

to face.

• The constant increase in the fuel cost has led to heavy losses in

the sector.

• Low cost airlines are phasing out.

• Unpaid bills have led to fuel supply backlash.

• The shortage of trained pilots and other personnel are also the

shortcomings of Indian aviation sector.
