Airlines Industry Growth should be matched by the Aviation Infrastructure Growth

The Global Flights analysts are perplexed at the Size of Indigo's Aircraft deals and they are sitting over and calculating what the Indian aviation market has to  offer. While most of them realize that the flight sector boom in India is set to continue at the same pace and emergence of some Global Indian Airlines is eminent many of them also point out the dismal state of the Aviation Infrastructure such as Airports and high tariff structure for Fuels and Aircraft landing.


Rising economic profiles of People driven by a booming economy has also pushed up the demands for airlines particularly the suburban towns and this phenomenon is best exploited by the Airlines such as Indigo which offers Low cost carrier model. Further liberalization of the airlines sector has seen intense competition among the airlines and reduction of Airlines Booking prices.


But for capitalizing on the aviation Boom what is being forgotten is the investment in boosting aviation Infrastructure is not keeping pace with the airlines industry growth. Unless this happens , for example provision of airports in the suburban towns, the expansion phase of the airlines Booking  will soon be marked by slump in demand, which may be presently concentrated to the metros.

Indian Airlines Industry Biggest deal: Indigo Air Bus orders Unparalled In aviation History


The Indian aviation Industry has received the biggest boost till date with the Indigo Airlines Making a record deal $15.5 deal with the AirBus.

The airlines which emerged as the largest airlines in the Indian market has decided to put orders for 180 Airbus aircraft of the 320-neo series. The size of the aircraft purchase deal is by far unprecedented in aviation Industry.The aircraft are scheduled by the airbus over next 9 years starting from 2016 - 2025. This deal will go down as the largest single order deal in the history of commercial aviation history, making Indigo the launch customer for the New A320-neo series of Aircraft.

Indigo has emerged as a major Low cost airlines carrier in India and the major reason stated behind the deals is the efficiency of engines and large wing tip devices called Sharklets that are also capable of significant fuel savings of up to 15 percent are the few plus points of these new jets.


Incidentally IndiGo got the government's nod to induct 150 aircraft only recently. Going by the trends of the Indian airlines sector there is huge gap in demand and supply of Airlines seats available some projections estimate that India would requires more thousands of aircraft to meet the rising demands. It is to be noted that Indigo will receive 100 aircraft by 1015 which it ordered in 2005.

The choice of The new series of the A 320 is very mature as the aircraft offers unparalleled fuel efficiency (A-320 neo) which would help Indigo to continue to offer low fares.Indigo will also be ale to offer International flights by August 2011 and will most probably Concentrate on catering to the Airlines Booking demands in the SE Asia and Gulf region. Air India Express  is going to be a major Competitor in these regions.
