Despite challenging economic conditions, India’s aviation market is three times larger than it was 10 years ago, Civil Aviation Secretary K.N. Srivastava said on Thursday.
Srivastava was speaking at a two-day Aviation Information Communications Technology Forum 2013 that began at a resort here on the outskirts of the state capital.
“Despite challenging economic conditions, India’s aviation market is three times larger than it was 10 years ago, and we expect traffic to triple again,” Srivastava said.
“Airports are upgrading to new technology, airlines are re-inventing themselves and passengers expect a more personalised and faster experience,” he said.
The secretary said that the ministry was also contemplating setting up 60 airports over the next few years.
“In this dynamic environment, we are creating a framework that will encourage more advanced technologies and enhance the passenger experience,” he said.
