Indian aviation emerges from turbulence with new opportunities. Relighting the Flame

With the commissioning into service of the new terminals at Chennai and Kolkata, and the partial opening of T2 at Mumbai during the year ahead, all six Indian metros will have world class airport infrastructure, a dramatic leap forward in the eight years since the modernisation program was announced. But 2013/14 must be the year in which certainty about economic regulation is achieved if there is to be strong investor interest in the upcoming tenders for the Navi Mumbai and Goa greenfield airport projects.

As always, much will depend on the government. The Ministry of Civil Aviation appears genuinely intent on helping the sector, but addressing the most significant challenges - particularly fiscal matters, and the future of Air India - will require inter-ministerial consensus and support from the very highest levels of government.
