INCREDIBLE INDIA

History
Nearly five thousand years back flourished India’s first major
civilization along the Indus River Valley. The twin cities of
Mohenjodaro and Harappa now in Pakistan were ruled by priests
and held the rudiments of Hinduism. These civilization are know
to possess a sophisticated lifestyle, a highly developed sense of
aesthetics, an astonishing knowledge of town planning and an
undecipherable script language. It existed at the same time as
the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Sumer but far outlasted
them. Surviving for nearly a thousand years the Indus valley
civilization fell to tectonic upheavals in about 1700 BC, which
caused a series of floods.

In 567 B.C. the founder of the Buddhist Religion Gautama Buddha

was born. During this time lived Mahavira, who founded the Jain
religion. The Indian subcontinent is full of caves and monuments
devoted to these religions.

Two hundred years later, in the 4th century B.C., Emperor Ashoka,
one of the greatest king of Indian history, led the Mauryan Empire

Page
to take over almost all of what is now modern India. This great
leader embraced Buddhism and built the group of monuments at
1
Sanchi (a UNESCO world heritage site). The Ashoka pillar at
Sarnath has been adopted by India as its national emblem and
the Dharma Chakra on the Ashoka Pillar adorns the National Flag.
Christianity entered India at about the same time from Europe.
Legend has it that St. Thomas the Apostle arrived in India in 52
A.D. Even earlier than that people of the Jewish religion arrived on
India’s shores.

In 1192, Mohammed of Ghori, a ruler from Afghanistan, came into

India and captured several places in the north including Delhi.
During this time Islam, was introduced into a major part of
Northern India. Even before that, just after the period of the
prophet, Islam was brought to the western coast of India by Arab
traders and flourished in what is now Kerala.

The Europeans – Portuguese, French, Dutch, Danish and British –

started arriving in the early 1600s. All of them held territories in
India and made friends and enemies among India’s rulers as they
got more and more involved with the Indian politics, but it was
the British who eventually controlled most of India and finally
made it one of their colonies.

India got its independence from Britain in 1947 after a long

struggle. In the years since independence India has made huge
progress and coped with great problems, and has developed its
industry and its agriculture and has maintained a system of
government which makes it the largest democracy in the world.

Geography Page
2
India is set apart from the rest of Asia by the Himalayas, the
highest, youngest and still evolving mountain chain on the planet.
The subcontinent as it is rightly called, touches three large water
bodies and is immediately recognizable on any world map. This
thick, roughly triangular peninsula defines the Bay of Bengal to
the east, the Arabian sea to the west, and the India Ocean to the
south.

India holds virtually every kind of landscape imaginable. An

abundance of mountain ranges and national parks provide ample
opportunity for eco-tourism and trekking, and its sheer size
promises something for everyone. From north to south India
extends a good 2000 miles (3200 km), where the island nation of
Sri Lanka seems to be squeezed out of India like a great tear, the
synapse forming the Gulf of Mannar.

People & Lifestyle

In a country as diverse and complex as India, it is not surprising to
find that people here reflect the rich glories of the past, the
culture, traditions and values relative to geographic locations
and the numerous distinctive manners, habits and food that will
always remain truly Indian.

Indians believe in sharing happiness and sorrow. A festival or a

celebration is never constrained to a family or a home. The whole
community or neighborhood is involved in bringing liveliness to an
occasion. A lot of festivals like Diwali, Holi, Id, Christmas,
Page
Mahaveer Jayanthi are all celebrated by sharing sweets and 3
pleasantries with family, neighbors and friends.
 INDIAN ECONOMY

India’s economy has been one of the stars of global economics in

recent years, growing 9.2% in 2007 and 9.6% in 2006. Growth
had been supported by markets reforms, huge inflows of FDI,
rising foreign exchange reserves, both an IT and real estate
boom, and a flourishing capital market.

Like most of the world, India has faced testing economic times in
2008. However, it has to compete ever harder in the energy
market place in particular and has not been as adept at securing
new fossil fuel sources. The Indian Government is looking at
alternatives, and has signed a wide-ranging nuclear treaty with
the US, in part to gain access to nuclear power plant technology
that can reduce its oil thirst.

The Government investment in the infrastructure of the country

being a key requirement has ear-marked 23.8 trillion rupees,
approximately $559 billion, for infrastructure upgrades during the
11th five year plan (2007-2012). It expects to fund 70% of project
costs, with the other 30% being supplied by the private sector.

Page
Ports, airports, roads and railways are all seen as vital for the
Indian Economy and have been targeted for investment. 4
Recent Growth Trends in Indian Economy
India’s economy has grown by more than 9% for three years
running, and has seen a decade of 7% + growth. This has
reduced poverty by 10%. The structural transformation that has
been adopted by the national government in recent times has
reduced
growth constraints and contributed greatly to the overall growth
and prosperity of the country.

During this period of stable growth, the performance of the Indian

service sector has been particularly significant. The growth rate
of the service sector was 11.18% in 2007 and contributed 53% of
GDP. The industrial sector grew 10.63% in the same period and is
now 29% of GDP. Agriculture is 17% of the Indian economy.

Indian economy, which has been hit hard by the global recession
is on the path of recovery. It has grown less than 7% in 2008/09,
sharply lower than the expansion of 9% or in each of the previous
three fiscal years, and is poised to expand at the pace in the fiscal
year 2009-10. This indication is because of robust growth in steel
and cement sales as well as in manufacturing in the recent
months. Even consumer goods sales and auto demand has been
strong support from the market.

 INDIAN AVIATION INDUSTRY

With a growth rate of 18 per cent per annum, the Indian aviation
industry is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the
world. The government’s open sky policy has led to many
overseas players entering the market and the industry has been
growing both in terms of players and number of aircrafts. Today
private airlines account for around 75 per cent share of the
domestic aviation market.

India has jumped to 9th position in world’s aviation market from

12th in 2006. The scheduled domestic air services are now
available from 82 airports as against 75 in 2006.

Potential for Growth

The Indian Civil Aviation market grew at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 18 per cent, and was worth US$ 5.6 billion
in 2008.

The Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) has forecast that
domestic traffic will increase by 25 per cent to 30 per cent till
2010 and international traffic growth by 15 per cent, taking the
total market to more than 100 million passengers by 2010.

Page
India’s civil aviation passenger growth, presently at 20 per cent, is
one of the highest in the world. By 2020, 400 million Indian
6
passengers are likely to be airborne.

By 2020, Indian airports are expected to handle more than 100

million passengers including 60 million domestic passengers and
around 3.4 million tones of cargo per annum.
Moreover, significant measures to propel growth in the civil
aviation sector are on the anvil. The government plans to invest
US$ 9 billion to modernize existing airports by 2010. The
government is also planning to develop around 300 unused
airstrips.

Airport Infrastructure
• Mumbai and Delhi airports have already been privatized
and are being upgraded at an estimated investment of
US$ 4 billion over 2006-16. Greenfield airports are
operational at Bangalore and Hyderabad. These are
built by private consortia at a total investment of over
US$ 800 million.
• A second Greenfield airport being planned at Navi
Mumbai is going to be developed using public-private
partnership (PPP) mode at an estimated cost of US$ 2.5
billion.
• 35 other city airports are proposed to be upgraded.
The city side development will be undertaken through
PPP mode.
• Over the next five years, Airport Authority of India (AAI)
has planned a massive investment of US$ 3.07 billion –

Page
43 per cent of which will be for the three metro airports
in Kolkata, Chennai and Trivandrum, and the rest will 7
go into upgrading other non-metro airports and
modernizing the existing aeronautical facilities.

Aviation Policy
Many policies supporting the infrastructure are now in place.
 • 100 per cent FDI under automatic route is permissible for
Greenfield airports.

• For existing airports, FDI up to 74 per cent is permitted

through automatic approvals and up to 100 per cent through
special permission.
• Private developers allowed setting up of captive airstrips and
general airports 150 km away from an existing airport.
• 100 percent tax exemption for airport projects for a period of
10 years.
• 49 per cent FDI is permissible in domestic airlines under
automatic route, but not a foreign airline companies. 100
per cent equity ownership by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) is
permitted.
• 74 per cent FDI is permissible in cargo and non-scheduled
airlines.
• The Indian government plans to set up an Airport Economic
Regulatory Authority to provide a level playing field to all
players.

Major Investments
Over the past year, various companies have shown an interest in
the Indian Aviation industry.

• US-based business jet maker, Hawker Beechcraft Page

8
Corporation (HBC), opened its first authorized service centre
in Delhi in
partnership with Interglobe General Aviation with a total
investment of US$ 8 million.
• Richard Branson, who controls UK carrier Virgin Atlantic
Airways Ltd., has sought permission to start a domestic
airline in India.
 • GMR Infrastructure is looking to tap the growing corporate
jet market in India with investment plans to the tune of US$
151 million. It is also in talks with aircraft component

manufacturers such as Honeywell and Safran to set up a

components assembly plant in the country. The company
plans to invest US$ 60 million for the proposed Joint Venture.
• US aircraft maker, Boeing will deliver 100 planes worth US$
17 billion over the next four to five years to India.

Road Ahead
The Indian aviation sector is likely to see clear skies ahead in the
years to come.

• Passenger traffic is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15

per cent in the next 5 years.
• The vision 2020 statement announced by the Ministry of Civil
Aviation, envisages creating infrastructure to handle 280
million passengers by 2020.
• Investment opportunities of US$110 billion envisaged up to
2020 with US$ 80 billion in new aircraft and US$ 30 billion in
development of airport infrastructure.

OUR PROPOSAL
Aviation sector is growing very rapidly in India with a growth rate
of 18 per cent per annum. Hence, major international carriers are
aggressively marketing the Indian Region for both passengers &
cargo on all global sectors.

Our market analysis indicates that carriers which are effectively

represented in the core marketing areas and commercial centers
of India, control a dominating share of the market and are able to
influence customers through aggressive sales solicitation and
customer support programs.

Your airline is one of the leading carriers with flight to all over the
globe. In India there is a great demand for both Passengers as
well as Cargo space to all the destinations. Currently with the
airline operating in India, we believe that there is still great
potential for your airlines to grow at a faster pace in the Indian
market.

We having a strong background in the Aviation Industry as well as

a very strong presence throughout India, functioning together can
be a win – win situation for both of us.

This is a proposal of HIND AIR LINK PVT. LTD. for the General
Sales Agency of your airlines in India.

BUSINESS PLAN
We propose to start off-line operational for Air Canada Ex-India.

Interline Agreements and Special Prorate Agreements will

required to be established with different IATA carriers for
transportation purposes.

Agreements and space allocation will required to be established

with other airlines for the purpose of transporting passengers &
cargo till Hong Kong or any other destination, there both
passengers and cargo can be connected on Air Canada flights.

Promotion of marketing of small weight break shipments to utilize

the existing limited capacity of Air Canada ex-Hong Kong/other
stations. The promotion of small shipments from India would also
help in getting a higher yield.

Air Canada can also look at consolidating its position in the Indian
Sub-Continent, by looking a long terms relationship with the
Indian Market by way of direct flights between India and Canada.
This can only be possible with a direct air link between India and
Canada with a minimum of 2/3 flights a week to enforce economic
viability for the Principal Airline.

Special fares may be promoted for passengers flying to North

America & Europe as a lot of the business travelers and tourists
are currently using other airlines. The Leather & Textile/Garment

Page
industry has been growing at a very fast pace in India in the last
couple of years. The exports of leather products to America and 24
Europe has increased multifold resulting in both Business Travel
and Cargo for these countries.
As and when Air Canada feels that the suitable aircraft can be
placed for direct flights to India, we shall provide maximum
possible loads to the Principal Carrier.

Air Canada support has to be available to develop, establish and

maintain interline arrangements with carriers operating in India.

Sufficient capacity has to be available on services of Air Canada

to accommodate Passengers & Freight originating from India.

Our marketing plan identifies key elements, which will form the
basis of our Marketing & Sales initiatives. We are confident that
with the support from Air Canada, this plan will enable us to
secure a fair portion of the Passenger and Cargo market and show
increase in the revenue on an annual basis.

The purpose of this proposal is to demonstrate that as the Air

Canada G.S.A. we can strengthen the Airlines marketing position
and significantly enhance the revenue contribution by
aggressively soliciting all the major centers in India by stressing
the following features:

 Competitive Pricing
 Flight Frequency
 Destinations Served
 Niche Market Points

Air Canada has to take some concrete steps to start operations

Page
from India as the growing economy has immense potential for
Business opportunities with North America and Europe which is 25
yet to be commercially exploited to the benefit of Air Canada.

Conclusion
The primary objective of Hind Air Link would be to provide your
airlines a reliable, efficient and quality service support in the
Indian Region. With the present stature and the strength of the
Hind Group in India, further more its relationship with government
organizations and the National Carrier, the company is in a very
strong position to assist you with the necessary clearance from
Ministry of Civil Aviation, D.G.C.A., Airport Authority of India,
Bureau of Civil Aviation Security etc.

Our aim is to enable our clients to achieve accelerated results

through implementation of practical solutions that will improve
the effectiveness and performance of individuals and
organization.
