    Increased competition has driven down prices

    and margins

    Additional purchasing power due to rapidly rising

    impressive. India and China are growing between 8

    and 10% each year.

    International passenger traffic grew 7.6% where as Asian airlines wereslowerat 6.3%

    Asian freight traffic grew by 4.2% in comparison to global growth of 3.2%

    Globally airlines lost US$6 billion in 2005 and in Asia it is a mixed picture.Some carriers are among the most profitable. Others however arestruggling but still the best performance in the world

    India has moved from 2 state-run airlines to a vibrant industry with more

    than 10 players. Indian carriers stole the show in Paris with US$12 billionof orders

    Problem & Solution

    Increased traffic and cargo growth has led to congestion/

    saturation at different airports in India , e.g. Mumbai, Delhi,Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai etc.

    Hence, country requires New Airports

    Expansion of capacity at existing airports Induction of Technology for efficient handling of Passenger and

    cargo.

    Better Management Practices

    For all this additional funds to the tune of Rs. 40,000 crores +Rs. 454 crores for airports in North East are required (detailsshown in next slide).

    The annual requirement of funds in the future is expected to be muchmore than the AAI can generate.
