Indian aviation industry has made huge technology investment in the last few years to make air travel easier and to increase aircraft efficiency and productivity. The order for fuel efficient aircrafts (A320 neo, Q400) by Indian carriers; Implementation of advanced check-in, ticketing, baggage screening, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) and “Gagan” satellite system are included in this list.
However, nothing being done so far in upgrading Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems to deal with increasing air congestion problems in the Indian sky. The near miss aircraft collision, air ambulance crash and missing chopper are some of the major issues took place in 2011 leading to poor ATC management. These issues affect passenger safety and result in flight delays/cancellations that cause huge loss for Indian carriers; thus needs immediate attention from the government side.
Indian aviation industry is far behind the world developed nations that are masters in air transport services. The major drawbacks are the slow-paced introduction of technology and infrastructure constraints in India
