A distinguished authority on civil aviation,
Mr Keskar observed that the growth rate from January
to June this year varied between 19 to 25 per
cent, averaging a healthy 22 per cent, and that
this rate was likely to continue over the rest
of 2010.
He told India Strategic during
the just-concluded Farnborough Air Show here that
load factors had already gone up with a majority
of the flights in India going full. Coupled with
that, the airlines had increased their fares by
about 15 per cent, and that had yielded net profitability
to them for the first time in two years.
“Cumulatively speaking, every body is net-plus,”
he said adding that Boeing will release its annual
aviation forecast for India in August..
