Aviation meet underscores need to create infrastructure

Kochi: Mr. G C Daga, Director (Marketing), IndianOil inaugurated the two day 15th International Aviation Conference in the presence of Mr. Thorsten Luft, General Manager, Middle East Businesses, Air BP; Mr. R Sareen, GM(Aviation), IndianOil and over 100 delegates from 30 countries here today.
Delivering the inaugural address, Mr. Daga complimented the airline companies for continuing to deliver value to customers despite a debilitating impact on the bottom-line". The domestic passenger traffic at Indian airports is expected to grow by about 25% and international traffic by about 15% annually. Aviation fuel growth, which is currently poised at about 15-20% annually, is also expected to maintain the growth trend considering the future growth potential in air travel in the country.
Mr. Thorsten Luft, in his address stressed on the need for safety in aviation operations which is especially important in the current context in India where there is clearly a boom in the airline business. The challenge clearly is to manage the transition with a clear focus on quality operations. The opportunity, however, is clearly there for the Indian aviation sector to tap the most contemporary of technology and processes in the world, he added.
Delegates attending the conference include representatives of leading international and domestic airlines besides from allied industries, statutory aviation authorities and government agencies including representatives from the Indian Defence Services.
