From The Editor's Desk
In the
last part of October the Air Traffic Control Units all over the world
celebrated the "International Air Traffic Controllers Day" to celebrate
the profession of Air Traffic Control and its positive contribution to
Aviation and Aviation Safety. In India the Air Traffic Controllers Guild
took a lead and functions were held in almost all the airports to
promote safe practices in Air Traffic Control and foster united growth
among the aviation community. We at
www.clubcontroltower.net
celebrated the occasion in a big way at Shikarbadi Airstrip at Udaipur
where about ten flying club operated aircraft participated to enable a
direct interaction between pilots, ATCOs and school children of the
schools of Udaipur City. The children were thrilled to witness Hot Air
Ballooning and Aeromodelling flights done during the day. Later in the
evening a sound and light show listing the milestones in aviation were
presented to a packed audience by
www.clubcontroltower.net Shriji Arvind
Singhji Mewar who is one person in Rajasthan who not only takes keen
interest in aviation but always does everything to promote growth in
aviation, was the Chief Guest during the function.
Civil Aviation in India is growing in leaps and bounds over the past
couple of years. Indians are flying now like never before. In the year
of 2007 a total of 432.89 lakh people had flown registering a growth of
32.51% as per DGCA, India. The same source predicts continuous growth in
the next few years in Indian Aviation which is expected to become stable
at a steady 22% by the end of next five years. In a world perspective,
the preliminary traffic figures for 2008 released by ICAO show a slow
growth with only a 1.8% increase over 2007 in terms of passenger
kilometers performed (PKP).
In the wake of 26/11/08 Mumbai terror attack, the aviation sector all
over the world is bracing itself to keep its airports safe and secure.
In India all the airports are on a high alert. The Civil Aviation
Ministry has asked the State Governments to revamp security not just at
airports but at unused airstrips especially in remote areas and those
lying abandoned. All chopper flying from uncontrolled airstrips are
being monitored to improve security.
With all the bottlenecks faced like spiraling price line, security
concerns, dip in passenger travel by air in comparison to 2007, Indian
Aviation is still expected to see investments to the tune of US$ 50
billion in the next decade mainly in the form of airport infrastructure
upgrade and fleet acquisition by carriers. The Air Cargo sector is at an
interesting juncture and poised for a huge growth. The country's
aerospace
manufacturing industry is also registering an interesting growth.
Very
soon we are going to bid a goodbye to 2008 and welcome a new, fresh and
pulsating 2009.Let us all do our bit to make 2009 an exciting year for
the Indian Aviation. And on behalf of all of us at CCT here's wishing
you a fantastic, fabulous and futuristic New Year ahead....
