Accommodating the Boom
The air travel boom in India has thrown up a new set of challenges before the country's aviation sector. The airport infrastructure needs to be ramped up on priority for the growth momentum to be sustained in the long term.
Indian airports facing severe capacity crunch
Amber Dubey, Partner and India Head of Aerospace & Defence, KPMG feels that a tough relook is required at the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (LARR) Act, 2013, as it has made land acquisition for public infrastructure projects such as airports impossible.
The aviation regulator needs a complete revamp
The decision of the Government of India to spend $10 billion towards airport infrastructure development is a critical move. India is one the few nations in the globe which has recorded a year-on-year passenger growth of nearly 23 per cent.
Aerobridges are financially unviable for regional airports
Installation and maintenance of aerobridges require significant capital investment by the airport operator. Most of the regional airports in India have low traffic numbers, making the investment on aerobridges financially unviable.
Aerobridges Bridging Barriers
Aerobridges make boarding and disembarking from an aircraft more comfortable and convenient for passengers, particularly the elderly, disabled and those with children. They also enhance the security of terminal operations.
