Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday
said that aviation sector is one of the critical enablers for India's
endeavour towards a $5 trillion economy.
Addressing a virtual
session organised by Ficci during the Aero India 2021, he said: "Today,
India is the third largest domestic aviation market and poised to become
third largest in the overall civil aviation market very soon."
"The
Indian aviation sector has grown exponentially in last few years and is
one of the critical enablers as well as an indicator for India's
endeavour towards a $5 trillion economy."
Besides, he said the
PM's vision of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' is not just about manufacturing for
the world, it is also about creating jobs and the aviation sector has
significant multiplier effect on job creation.
About the government's vision of 2040, Puri said that it talks about India as an aviation hub.
To
fully realise its potential, the government is focusing on policies to
add remote and regional areas to the map of Indian aviation, he added.
Elaborating
on the expansion of airports in the country, the minister said that
they will be adding 100 new airports by 2024 and the figures indicate a
mammoth opportunity in Indian civil aviation sector.
Highlighting
the importance of air cargo sector, he said that the resilience shown
by Indian air cargo sector despite challenges posed by the pandemic
drives home the benefit that has been brought through policy changes and
recalibration of business models.
"We expect that we may close the year 2021 at the same level of 2019-20," Puri added.
