AN OVERVIEW OF THE INDIAN RAILWAYS
1. Introduction:
1.2 Functions:
There are total 136 airports are in India, in which 128 are
managed by AAI and rest of them are by non-AAI.AAI. There are
also some achievements of the Indian aviation sector which
they achieved during 2000-2012. The no. of operational
airports are increased from 50 in the year 2000 to 125 in the
year 2012. There is also increase in the aircraft from 225 in
the year 2000 to 1188 in the year 2012. And result of these
two causes the expansion of passenger handling capacity at
airports from 66 million to 233 million in between 2000- 2000
2012.
The growth in total passenger traffic has been robust recent
years with a passenger traffic record of 162.6 million in 2012
along with growth rate of 13.4%. During the 2012 domestic
passenger traffic grew 15.7 per cent while international
passenger traffic expanded 7.2 per cent.
Major Trends of the Airport Sector
During this growth period, this industry has been witness of
several changes and trends, such as policy initiatives taken by
government to increase private sector participation. At
present movement there are 6 major private sector player
linked with it. There is rise in per capita income, more
disposable income and growing middle in comparison to
previous years, hence more and more people are travelling
by air. There is also hike in user development fees by airport
developers and operators. The another important trend is
the focus on non-aeronautical revenue like increase the
beverages and food retail segment at airports due to absence
of complementary meals in low – cost airlines.
During year 2012, AI’s passenger load factor was 70.9 % and
yield at Rs. 4.31 per revenue passenger kilometer and it is
expected that company will achieve positive EBITDA
(earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and
Amortization) in the results for the Financial Year 2012-13.
The aim of 11th plan was to provide world class
infrastructure for safe, reliable and affordable air services,
hence increase the passenger growth and cargo traffic and
air connectivity to remote and inaccessible areas. Now as per
12th plan, GOI aims to propel India among the top five civil
aviation markets in the world with the base of the 11th plan.
Passenger Business
Low cost airlines are giving stiff competition to upper class
segments of the passenger business. Other segments,
particularly the short and medium distance passenger
business, are facing intense competition from the vastly
improved road services. The Eleventh Plan strategy is to
consolidate the rail share in passenger business, particularly,
in long distance and medium distance segment by increasing
the commercial speed of passenger trains, and introduction
of fast services between metropolitan cities with speed up to
150 kmph. Development of High Speed Corridors on selected
routes is seen as another key strategy for inter-city transport
and is also an environmental friendly solution.

Passenger Revenue
Passenger revenue has been steadily increasing, though it
formed only about 27% of the total earnings of the Railways
in 2011-12.

The actual passenger handled at metro airports in 2010-11 can be
seen in above chart. The graph shows that the passengers handled
are the highest at Delhi airport followed by rest of the metro
cities.This amounts to 70% of the total passenger handled at Indian
airports. Also amongst Metro Airports, bulk of the passenger
traffic is on the Delhi-Mumbai route i.e approximately 41% of the
total passenger traffic across all Indian airports & 59% of the total
metro airports traffic.
Air India: The time has come to stop procrastinating and act.
