Bansal stated at the CAPA India<\/strong> Aviation Summit that when all six metro airports are combined, they have a 500 million passenger capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

320 million passengers can now be handled by India’s six biggest metro airports, which include Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad, <\/em>according to Bansal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The civil aviation secretary also stated that the extension of Delhi’s terminal one (T1) will be finished by August-September of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We expect that terminal 1 will be enlarged, and that the three terminals at Delhi airport would have a combined capacity of 100 million people per year.” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nRajiv Bansal, secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The fourth runway will be operational by August, increasing aviation traffic movements accordingly, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that the privatisation of Air India creates a level playing field for other airlines and that there is significant potential for international connectivity growth, given India’s vast diaspora of 30 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“India is permitting FATA (Foreign Aircrew Temporary Authorization) pilots on 777s since there is a demand but no trained competency available,” <\/em>he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the high demand for international and local travel, he noted, the task will be to construct world-class infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also stated that there is a current need in India for 19-seater aircraft to connect tier 3 and 4 towns. He praised the UDAN scheme, calling it outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also stated that Air India Engineering Services Ltd’s (AIESL) investment plans are nearing completion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
