Aviation is important, both as an industry in its own
right and as a facilitator for the success and competitiveness
of other industries. The success of the aviation industry is
also integral to national competitiveness, economic
development and social progress. More importantly, aviation
supports those new economic sectors on which India’s future
prosperity relies, like Information Technology, Biotechnology,
Finance and Electronics. That India’s air transport industry
is on the rise is an undisputable fact. However, the Indian
economy will only achieve its true potential if we are able to
compete in the industries of the future. We need to be strong
in the areas with potential to grow and the role of India’s
aviation sector is critical in this regard.

infrastructural development.
57. Growth in India’s aviation sector is important to its
