The growth of civil aviation sector in the coming years inter-alia will depend upon on GDP growth, foreign tourist arrivals and political situation in the country. Setting up of new airports / upgradation of airports is a continuous process depending upon the traffic potential, demands from airline operators, commercial viability etc. Airports Authority of India from time to time, takes initiative in this regard, keeping in view the above factors, either with its own resources or with the participation of the concerned State Governments through signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with them. Some private parties are also being allowed to construct airports/ airstrips in the country after the approval of Government of India. As far as acquisition of plane or expansion of fleet of airlines is concerned, it depends upon the airlines, as and when any application received from airline operator and if it is found complete as per relevant Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR), Government grants its approval.
