Economic benefit of aviation industry


It is estimated that total contribution of aviation industry in global economy is estimated at $2.4 trillion
through direct, indirect, induced and catalytic effect of tourism. 3.4% of global economy relies on
aviation. According to IATA (International Air Transport Association) aviation industry generates
livelihood to 58 million people globally. The aviation industry directly employs 8.7 million people, and
creates 9.7 million indirect jobs through purchase of good and services by companies in its supply chains.
According to international civil aviation organization (ICAO), every $100 expenditure in air transport
produces benefit worth of $325 to local economy. In addition every 100 additional jobs creates 610 new
jobs in local economy.
Direct GDP benefits:
The worlds airlines carry over three billion passengers a year and 50 million tons of freight. Providing
these services generate 9.9 million direct jobs within the air transport industry and contributes $664.4
billion to global GDP
Compared with the GDP contribution of other sectors, the global transport industry is larger than the
automotive industry, which accounts for 1.2% of global GDP and chemicals manufacturing (2.1%). It is
more than half the size of the global financial services industry, which accounts for 6.2% of GDP.
Indirect GDP benefits:
These include employment and activities of suppliers to the air transport industry for example, aviation
fuel suppliers; construction companies that build airport facilities; suppliers of sub-components used in
aircraft; manufacturers of goods sold in airport retail outlets; and a wide variety of activities in the
business services sector (such as call centers, information technology and accountancy). These indirect

PROJECT REPORT ON INDIGO

Porters five force analysis:


Competitive Rivalry
1. Competition among major players is very high, especially in LCCs (Low cost carrier) section
because the airlines compete for the middle income group customers and passengers of airconditioning segment of railways. This group has low brand loyalty and is highly price
sensitiveness.
2. High competition generally earns low return as cost of competition is very high.
Threat of new entries:
1. Threat remains low because of the credit and red tape. If bank loans and regulatory hurdles are
low its easy to break in.
2. Just entering into industry is not enough as brand pulls the customer.
Substitute products:
1. Threat remains depend is it a regional or international. For international it is low as there are no
or few other means of transport is as swift, and convenient as airlines.
2. For regional it is high as railways, road are becoming at par with airline
3. Time, money and other preferences have a major role.
Bargaining power of suppliers:
1. Bargaining power of suppliers remain high as there are only few fuel and aircraft suppliers
2. Talent pool of pilots, engineers and other staff is also limited
Bargaining power of customers:
1. Bargaining power of customers remains low as the demand for low cost air travel is quite high
2. The costs of switching airplanes and services offered hardly differ with each other

with the Registrar of Companies, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand at Kanpur as InterGlobe Aviation
Private Limited. The name of the company was changed to InterGlobe Aviation Limited on August 11,
2006. The registered office was subsequently changed from the state of Uttar Pradesh to the National
Capital Territory of Delhi with effect from September 6, 2004 and such alteration was confirmed by the
order of the Company Law Board dated September 1, 2004. The registered office was changed within the
National Capital Territory of Delhi to its current place on October 1, 2006. The airline operates IndiGo,
Indias largest passenger airline with a 33.9% and 37.4% market share of domestic passenger volume for
fiscal 2015 and the five months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. It operates on a low-cost carrier, or
LCC, business model and focus primarily on the domestic Indian air travel market.
The company is one of the first airlines globally to order the A320neo aircraft. A320neo aircraft are
expected to deliver up to 15% fuel savings initially and up to 20% fuel savings by 2020 compared to
current generation A320 aircraft without sharklet wing-tip devices, which will further reduce its fuel
consumption per flight. The magnitude of the companys 2005, 2011 and 2015 aircraft orders helped it to
negotiate favorable terms with Airbus and its other aircraft-related suppliers and service providers, which
provides it with a structural cost advantage by reducing the overall costs associated with the acquisition,
maintenance and operation of its aircraft.

Vision:
Provide low fares, on-time flights and a hassle-free experience to our passengers
Business area of the company:
The company primarily operates in Indias domestic air travel market, which is forecast to be the worlds

PROJECT REPORT ON INDIGO

Why IndiGo is successful?


At the time when whole aviation industry in India was struggling to keep their losses low, at that time
IndiGo was working to become more profitable year on year. How this is achieved remains a question of
research for industry pundits. There are some reason which tells how IndiGo was able to do so

Once when other players in Indian aviation industry were busy buying rivals, flew multiple
flights and struggled to mix full service and low fare service, indigo stuck with its low fare policy
of offering one class of no-frill service on a single type plane.
Indigo used a selling and leaseback agreement which helped indigo in maintaining a young fleet
of airplanes by constantly replacing old airplanes. This prevented the overall need for check and
maintenance cost. Indigo price were only 40% of their operation cost in first 4 years, it was
impossible to make profit at such low fares. To give themselves a pricing advantage they added a
plane every 6 weeks in 2006.
Rahul Bhatia's (owner of indigo) obsession with detail and quality was also one of the reason.
IndiGo's executives, including staff at the check-in counters, air crew and sales and marketing
staff are hired only after Bhatia meets each of them individually. Besides, the airline also employs
far fewer people, with one of the industry's leanest work forces.
Turnaround time of IndiGo is 30 min i.e. time taken to ready the plan between landing and next
take off. A report in the Business Standard had said earlier that IndiGo's aircraft spend more than
11 hours a day in the sky, compared to the industry average of eight or 10 hours.
IndiGo's success model largely relies on consistent low fares, regular on-time performance and
minimal flight cancellations. However, the airline's biggest edge over others is its focus on
customer. Fliers want on time journey at reasonable prices and this has helped IndiGo inch past
stalwarts to reach this milestone. Other airlines advertise low fares, marketing or other
promotional offers on their websites, IndiGo only emphasizes on-time performance.
Unlike manual systems used by other airlines, IndiGo planes are equipped with a digital link
system for transmission of short, simple messages between aircraft and ground stations via radio
or satellite called Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS). Before
every IndiGo flight departs an automatic message is triggered from the aircraft to its operations
control center - and immediately the same departure time gets recorded in the software. Similarly,
the moment the flight lands an automatic message is triggered from aircraft to control center.
Hence, the on-time performance is diligently monitored for every flight in real time.
