India Aviation Rank

India has jumped to the 48th position in the global aviation safety ranking by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), according to DGCA officials.

In a major boost, the US regulator Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has retained the highest aviation safety ranking for India, a senior official said on Tuesday.

India is poised to be one of the largest aviation markets in the world in the years to come, the ACI said.

His comments come in the backdrop of a survey ranking Air India as the third worst performing airlines in the world.

For those who insist that traveling is all about the journey, we say this: It really depends on which carrier you're flying.

Despite all the ills it is facing on the on-time performance and staff discipline, the national carrier Air India tops when it comes to brand reputation, followed by low-cost carrier SpiceJet and Jet Airways.

With the surprise shifting of Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha to Civil Aviation in the same rank, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will have two ministers to assist him.

Delhi Airport's top ranking worldwide among the airports handling around 40 million passengers annually according to recent survey was part of "India infrastructure story growing laterally", Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Tuesday.

Many highs and lows marked the 2015 trajectory of the domestic aviation space with three airlines taking off, one coming back after a near-collapse, a no-frills carrier getting listed and India again securing a top safety ranking even as the draft aviation policy remained in limbo.

The proposed aviation policy will pave the way for fresh foreign capital inflows into upcoming public-private partnership airports as the policy seeks to end uncertainties, says India Ratings, a credit ranking agency.

Despite high fuel costs and airport fees, air tickets in India are the cheapest in the world, says a study. The study done by GoEuro, a European travel website, said it costs $10.36 on average to travel 100 km on a commercial flight in India.

SpiceJet, Indias second largest low-cost airline, on Monday said it has been ranked as the best airline in terms of on-time performance in February, as per data from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

US aviation authorities have downgraded India's safety ranking in a "disappointing" and "surprising" move that will hit air links between the countries, India's aviation minister said on Friday.

The FAA has downgraded India to Category 2 from Category 1, Prabhat Kumar, India's director general of civil aviation, was quoted by the paper as saying.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Prime Minister's office have started looking for a replacement for Arvind Jadhav, the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Air India, sources have told NDTV. Sources say 5 officers including Petro-chemicals secy K Jose Cyriac, Cochin Airport CEO Kurien and a high ranking official in the aviation ministry we...
