The two-day Aero Expo India-2016 under joint aegis of the
PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Civil Aviation which
came to an end here today with strong recommendations for the government to
open up series of training and skill institutions for growth of domestic civil
aviation and its effective operations on lines of IITs and IIMs.
It also recommended that project financing for leasing
out aircrafts be made competitive as it is much cheaper in economies of scale
whereas lending for such purposes by domestic financial institutions and banks
are at exorbitant cost particularly for business aviation as compared to
commercial aircrafts.
The Aero Expo India-2016 collectively felt that training
currently being imparted for perspective civil aviation human resource and
personnel a substandard and needed many more improvements for their sustained
employment to effectively serve the passenger and cargo services of the civil
aviation sector since investments in such training institutes are meager as a
result equipment and other facilities in them are not up to the mark to provide
for training and skills that are required for emerging times aviation.
This gap and deficit could be effectively encountered
with government investments as private sector lack resources to create training
facilities for youths having aspirations to launch themselves in the avionics.
“Countries like Malaysia and Morocco that have little resources to create such
facilities if can generate training institutions with their investments, why
can’t India emulate such a model?”, asked the Aero Expo India-2016.
The Panelists that made the aforesaid suggestions
comprised CEO, GMR, Airports Ltd., Mr. P S Nair; CEO GMR, Aero Technic Ltd.,
Mr. Uday Naidu; Vice President, Industry Development, Strategic Partnership and
Offsets at Airbus Group India, Mr. Ashish Saraf; Head of Operations, FWSTC
& Cabin Crew Training, Mr. Vikas Khanna; CMD, GYROX Aviation, Col. Rampal
Suhag; GM, Projects, Bhadra Group, Mr. Sumit Barat; Founder & CEO, Law
Carbon Logistics (P) Ltd., Mr. Kailash Mishra and GM (HR), Airport Authority of
India, Dr. Dewakar Goel.
The expo also concluded that leasing norms for commercial
aircrafts in India have improved a lot, catching established global standards
but need to be evolved for business civil aviation. It was also recommended that lending costs
for leasing out aircrafts should be minimize and brought on par with norms that
prevail in countries like Japan and China.
All these measures it put in place would make the
domestic civil aviation the most effective entities of the world in times to
come as new India has evolved which needs practices that are prevalent in
economies of scale to satisfy the aspirations of Indian people in general and
its youth in particular.
Chairman, Civil Aviation Committee, PHD Chamber, Mr. K Narayana
Rao also concluded with more such interface across industry.
