Business Aircraft Operators Association terms budget disappointing for aviation sector

NEW DELHI: A body of business jet operators today termed as "disappointing" the general Budget and said India cannot become the third largest aviation market by 2020, which it is aiming for, unless issues plaguing the aviation sector were addressed in an appropriate manner.

General aviation industry is particularly disappointed with the proposed budget, President of Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA) Rohit Kapoor said in a statement.

"Prediction of India becoming the third largest Aviation industry by 2020 will only remain a dream if Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not address the woes of our sector, which cumulatively holds almost three times the fleet of all commercial airliners," Kapoor said, adding that regional and remote connectivity cannot take off in India unless larger issues were addressed.
