Forecast is based on a GDP growth assumption of just over 8% per annum, however thePlanning Commission has a more optimistic target of 9% until 2027.

Several forecasts Airbus, Boeing, Airports Council International - project that India will havethe fastest growth rate in the world in air traffic over the next 20 years (close to 10% p.a.)

CAPA believes that the growth in traffic and aircraft movements over the next decade may beeven stronger and more sustained than anticipated.

India is expected to emerge as the 3 rd largest aviation market in the world within 7 years.

The last decade stretched the system to its limits at times. The task ahead is more than 3times the scale are we up to the challenge?

And what about beyond 2020?

* CAPA Forecast

Aviation is a capital intensive industry that requireslong lead times for investment in infrastructure,equipment and people.

Decisions that we make today will have implicationsin 10 and 20 years from now. We already need to bethinking beyond 2020.

Post-2020, airport traffic could be growing at 50million pax per annum almost equivalent to addinga current Delhi and Mumbai airport every year.

CAPA forecasts domestic passengers numbers togrow to 907 million per annum by 2037 (1.8 billionairport pax!), 15x current levels, and the domesticfleet alone to reach 3,230 aircraft .

These are staggering numbers, but they reflectmarket demand. Failure to act could result in traffic

being choked and/or serious stresses on the system.Safety could be a casualty.

We need to move ahead from the current pre-occupation with short-term thinking towardsbuilding a genuine vision for the sector.

Our Objectives

CAPA believes that we should be working towards a framework where:

Governments role is to focus on policy and strategic issues, and to create confidence in anenvironment where;

Private sector is enabled to develop and grow the industry in an equitable manner and to earn areasonable return on investment;

Consumers have access to a safe, efficient and professional aviation system that represents fairvalue for the service provided;

Economy benefits from connectivity that supports trade, tourism and social flows.

CAPA recognises that the government shares the above goals and has serious intentions toachieve it, but we are concerned that progress has slowed dramatically in the last 10 months.


13/23

What we should be doing?Policy: Prepare a civil aviation policy and nationalaviation agenda;

Bilaterals: Allow private Indian carriers to expandoverseas;

Long Term Masterplan: Develop a 20-30 year masterplanfor airspace, airport infrastructure and human resources;

Regulator: Strengthen the regulatory regime and create aunified regulator with expertise in safety, economics,airspace and consumer protection (changing the name of

the DGCA to a CAA will of itself achieve nothing);Public Sector: Restructure PSUs in aviation, governmentownership of Air India and AAI creates a structuralimpediment that distorts policy;

Fiscal Framework: Remove the negative fiscal regime,particularly with respect to fuel;

Economic Regulation: Ensure clarity with respect to theregulatory framework to provide certainty to investorsand to allow airlines to operate according to marketforces;

Investment: Encourage FDI and allow foreign airlineownership;

Security: BCAS to be restructured to reflect the rapidlyevolving requirements for efficient security operations.

What we are doing?Policy: Pre-occupation with protecting AI has createdpolicy paralysis since 2008, which is damaging for all

carriers;Bilaterals: Holding private carriers hostage to Air Indiasinefficiencies, with implications for business and tourism,

jeopardising Indias hub potential. Ironically, foreigncarriers may be the winners of this approach;

Long Term Masterplan: There is no defined vision for thesector beyond the next 5 years, limited strategy fordeveloping skills and training;

Regulator: Strengthening of the DGCA which hadcommenced last year has slowed considerably in the last10 months, increasing safety challenges. Increasing andunnecessary interference in issues such as wheelchaircharges, pricing of exit row seats, international operationsat IGIA T1D;

Public Sector: Failure to take decisive actions to prepare AI

or AAI for the realities of the future;Fiscal Framework: No concerted action in progress;

Economic Regulation: the framework remains unclearwhich will continue to impact investment in airports andancillary services. Meanwhile airlines are prevented fromincreasing fares at times of high demand, but there is nointervention to stop AI from engaging in predatory pricing.

How are we performing?

Safety challenges and industry viability will overwhelm us if we dont take action

Indian Aviations Financial Performance is Bleak

Airlines

Airline losses are headed for unprecedented levels

Fuel, already at high levels globally is exacerbated by taxes

Weak Rupee is impacting dollar denominated costs

Air India continues to price below cost, destabilising market

Airports

DIAL is reporting losses, MIAL is increasingly challenged;

Most AAI airports are loss-making relies on revenue sharefrom DEL/BOM and ANS profits;

General Aviation

Most GA operators are in the red, except Pawan Hans.

Others

Only suppliers and aircraft manufacturers are profitable.

India cannot develop an effective aviation system if the coreplayers are unviable this critical issue is largelyunaddressed.

Global Issues in ATC

Air traffic management will play a critical role in the growth story of Indian aviation.

Significant investment will be required to expand and upgrade infrastructure, technology and skills.

These are global issues, although the key challenges vary by market.

Europe

European airspace encompasses 39 different countries resultant inefficiencies are estimated to cost

the aviation industry EUR4-5 billion per annum. Single European Sky program (SESAR) aims toachieve the following by 2020:

Triple system capacity;

Reduce unit costs by 50%;

Reduce environmental of each flight by 10%;

Reduce delays by 8-14 minutes per flight.However airlines are concerned that targets are not ambitious progress is not fast enough and that

the program is falling behind schedule. Seeking to impose penalties for ANSPs that fail to meettargets.


16/23

Global Issues in ATC

USA

Projected investment of US$11-12 billion in NextGen ground infrastructure by 2018;Airlines will invest US$5-7 billion to equip aircraft with technology.Over the next 8 years this investment is expected to:

o Generate US$23 billion in benefitso Reduce airline delays by 35%o Reduce fuel consumption by 1.4 billion gallons

ChinaChina has an opportunity to demonstrate strong leadership in ATM practice, given certain advantages

over Europe and the US:Unlike fragmented Europe it has a large single sky;Unlike the US it is not burdened with dated infrastructure and can leapfrog technology.Chinas greatest challenges are:

o keeping pace with double digit growth;o shortage of air traffic controllers;o opening up more airspace for civil use (currently 70% is restricted for military);o incorporating private and general aviation which has in the past been very limited.

Growth in Air Traffic Movements - India

At Delhi and Mumbai annual air trafficmovements are around 250,000 per annum.Delhi has recently overtaken Mumbai.

At the other four metros, movements fall in therange of 80,000 to 110,000 per annum.

All metros experienced strong growth between2005 and 2008. Hyderabad saw the strongestexpansion with movements increasing 133% in3 years. Mumbai saw the least at 58%.

At all airports movements have remainedsteady over the last 3 years due to thedownturn in 2008/09. The recent recovery wasmet in part through higher load factors.

However, with load factors reaching 85-90% inhigh season, future traffic expansion will see aresumption in movements growth.The recent respite in movements growth shouldnot lead to complacency, the challenges areimminent.

Efficiency of Runway Operations

Indian airports lag global best practice in theefficiency of airside operations. London Gatwickis able to achieve 50 aircraft movements perhour in a single runway operation. Delhiachieves a similar rate with 3 runways.At Mumbai, runway capacity issues limit hourlymovements to under 40. Unless this can beincreased to close to 50, the airport will not beable to maximise use of its terminal capacity.

Our commercial capital is being choked by ATCconstraints.

A New Model - Corporatisation

The challenges ahead are significant and will require two key elements to be addressed:

Huge capital requirements to invest in technology, people and training;Need for a completely new culture which will require a focused approach.

This is an appropriate time for change, to develop a new model rather than ad hoc revisions to theexisting structure. It is a situation which has been faced in several countries before.

The most common response has been corporatisation (or commercialisation) of ANSPs.Corporatisation was recommended by the Justice Lahoti Committee in 1996 and again by theNaresh Chandra Committee in 2003.

Both ATM and ANS activities should be corporatised if it is to be effective.

Corporatised entity must sit independently of the AAI establishment as a subsidiary will notfacilitate the necessary restructuring of the AAI. AAI restructuring is critical.

Airlines will demand performance targets in terms of lower costs, increase in overall capacityand efficiency. Effective and decisive corporatization is essential.


20/23

Benefits of Corporatisation

A US government survey of five commercialised ANSPs Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealandand the UK found the following characteristics:

Operate as a business and carry out their own strategic, operational and financial decisions;

Generate and manage their own revenue to cover its costs (including raising debt if required);

Retain safety as the primary goal and and in no cases have safety incidents increased, and infact in 2 out of the 5 examples they have decreased;

Invest in new technologies and equipment;Lower costs through modernisation and efficiency some have reduced prices to airlines;

Consult in a structured manner with their stakeholders .

The success achieved in markets such as the UK - where NATS has improved on virtually all

operational and financial indicators since its partial privatisation is leading to discussion aboutwhether to proceed to an IPO or a trade sale.


21/23

1. National Agenda: A long term, structured national plan

2. Regulator: A modern, unified, professional regulator

3. Public Sector: Decisions on the future role of PSUs are critical

4. HR & Training : World class education & training infrastructure is essential

5. Safety: Implementation of safety systems and culture

6. Liberalisation: Liberal access but level playing field for Indian operators.

7. Taxation: A less punitive fiscal regime which recognises that airlines must be viable

8. Investment: Private sector capital should be encouraged in airport development.

9. Profile: Enhanced profile and recognition of aviation within central and state government.

10. Vision: Ministry to concentrate on policy and providing strategic leadership.

10 Key Success Factors for the Next Decade


22/23

Everything that we do should be guided by what Indian aviation has the potential to be.

Aviation can play a critical role in ensuring our economic competitiveness, enabling trade and

tourism, generating millions of jobs and thereby contribute to our larger socio-economic objectives.Indias full service airlines could become global mega -carriers serving not only the Indian market,but as sixth freedom carriers of choice, recognised as the best in the world, hubbing passengersover world class airports.

A vibrant aerospace sector could be established in-country, not only providing outsourcingcapabilities for international manufacturers, but also developing an indigenous aircraft.

India could provide competitive and high quality services such as MRO and education/training tothe global industry, based on our lower cost base.

All this is possible, but it will not happen automatically

It certainly will not happen if we continue with an ad hoc approach which lacks direction.

We need a transformational mindset, to have a vision and a stable policy and regulatory regimewhich is consistent with achieving the long term objectives.

We must at all times maintain a national perspective which is independent of the leadership.

We cannot open the sector( 92-95), control ( 95-03), open ( 03-08) and control( 08-11). Suchfrequent changes have damaged the sector significantly.

A Vision for the Future
