NewsTranscript
00:00I always find this time very tricky. I don't know if it is the afternoon time or evening time right
00:05when you hit this four o'clock but I can see a lot of enthusiasm in the crowd and this has been
00:09the emotion for the last two days yesterday and today. I think the real success on this CII
00:15partnership summit that we are having in Vishakapatnam is not in terms of value how much
00:20investment is going to come to Andhra Pradesh but in terms of the participation and the engagement
00:26and the commitment shown by the people that have come here. So on behalf of the entire
00:31arrangements that have been done here I would like to thank each and everyone who has made
00:36time to come here to participate in this event and have made this a huge success and now like
00:42I have said the whole success of this event I was able to see one magic again. The magic
00:48again is the magic of our Honourable Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidugaru. How he does it at that
00:53age of 75 years doing it again and again with the same commitment with the same enthusiasm and with
00:59the same energy is something which is very very inspiring even for me today to be working with
01:04him because I have seen him over the last 12 to 13 years of me coming into politics I have seen him
01:11go through different challenges politically, professionally, personally but the way he takes
01:18these challenges or tackles these challenges as a way of an opportunity I think that is a great
01:23learning lesson for someone like me and also people at large so I was able to see that magic so it has
01:28been a personally very enriching time for me to be participating in this moment and now coming to
01:34the important subject of aviation I have to tell you that when I became this minister I was assured
01:40by our Honourable Chief Minister and also our Prime Minister that they will be giving me a ministry
01:45the expectations were many which ministry are we going to get and many people were thinking about
01:51all the ministries and civil aviation was never in the question and when civil aviation was given I
01:56was also slightly clueless on what the ministry is going to be and how do we deal with it because
02:01I was also with the idea that maybe some other portfolio is going to come there were other things
02:07in mind but now I can proudly say that this is one of the best ministries that anyone can deal with
02:12and the way the sector has been progressing in the last 11 years under the visionary leadership of our
02:18Honourable Prime Minister I can stand here very proudly and say that in the whole world this kind of
02:25success India has seen in aviation no other country has seen that is where we stand today we are the third
02:32largest aviation market in the whole world and the capacities that we are dealing with 74 airports in
02:402014. 74 itself is a very huge number and people would have said that we have 74 airports good
02:45connectivity all across so we can just slow down a little bit but that's not what happened in 2014
02:50because our Honourable Prime Minister understands that if we want to achieve Viksit Bharat if we want
02:56the country to grow both inclusively and exclusively domestically and both internationally connectivity is
03:02the key you study any country across the world which have achieved tremendous success in the growth story of
03:07their country then you would see that the propellant has always been logistics either road sector railway
03:14sector air connectivity or ports one of these have been the major driving sector for any growth sector
03:19that you would have seen so this was the understanding and this was the vision our Honourable Prime Minister
03:24had and he has taken aviation as one of the core subjects and he has given it such a good drive in the
03:30last 11 years that 74 airports in 2014 now we are 164 and counting that is the magnanimity of the growth
03:38that we have seen in this country now with 164 airports also i would also like to simplify my speech and
03:44just give you a little bit of insights into what we are going ahead with we have seen tremendous success
03:50in the last 11 years but what we want to see is continue on the progress 10 to 12 percent growth rate
03:55that's what we are seeing in civil aviation today so on one stage we want to continue the growth story
04:00that we have achieved and on the second side while we are going we want to transform the sector also
04:06as we are transforming we see in terms of the services that we are giving to the passengers
04:10and in terms of the manufacturing ecosystem that we have in the country and the future technologies
04:16which have the capacity to change the way we are seeing and visualizing civil aviation all these things
04:21we want to have the platforms built in the country itself so as we are progressing we want to transform
04:27the sector also i have given you the number of airports that we have seen in the country and some
04:32other statistics if you see in 2014 there were around 1.8 lakh domestic passengers in the country
04:39and today we have on an average of 4.6 lakhs kind of three times 1.8 lakh to 4.6 lakhs today and almost
04:475.3 lakh people flew on november 10th 5 lakh people traveling in a single day in any country seem to
04:55be the magic figure it is an achievement where most of the countries are like ambitious to achieve that
05:02but we every other week we are touching the 5 lakh number today and on november 10th we hit the highest
05:08point of 5.3 lakh passengers and domestic passengers from 6.7 crores in 2014 we have grown up to 7.2 crores
05:16and international passengers from 4.5 to 7.2 crores domestic flights the number of flights that are
05:23moving around is from 6 lakhs in 2014 to 11 lakhs in 2024 and the international flights the indian
05:30carriers are 1.1 lakh flights in 14 to 2 lakh flights in 2024 so if you look at all the numbers they have
05:38kind of doubled in the last 11 years so the push has been not only to build the infrastructure and
05:43the ecosystem but whatever existing infrastructure is going to build on the capacity we have tried to
05:49expand it and do it and that is the vision that we have for the future like i've said we are at 164
05:54airports today so how do we move to ahead to the future we are seeing that india has come to a
05:59position where we have to rethink on how we are looking at airports till now when we are looking at an
06:05airport we are say packing up thousand acres or 1200 or 1500 acres of land and we are saying this is
06:12where the airport is going to come it's going to have a runway which is where the big flights are
06:16going to come small everything is going to come and then there's going to be a terminal big terminal
06:21and all those things but now we feel india should move into the idea of having hub and spoke model
06:28so we have the metropolitan airports where they are going to be the hubs like delhi mumbai
06:33chennai hyderabad bangalore kolkata these are the major airports that we have which are handling
06:38crores of passengers every year and then we have the other airports and the other airports are
06:44supposed to be the feeding system into this major airports and let them create their own hubs so when
06:50we are trying to do this then we have come up with the model saying that see when you are trying to
06:54build airports in the tier 2 and tier 3 cities they don't need to have such big huge land bank in
06:59there this thing so what we are trying to design now in the way we are looking at airports is we are
07:05going to classify them as mega airports or large airports then we will have medium airports and
07:10the small scale airports so once the idea around building an airport we have these different sectors
07:15then we can go with the idea of how much land is required for that airport suppose it's a tear
07:21through city no matter how much you want to grow the passenger capacity there is always going to be
07:26a mega airport which is close by where it is more convenient for people to travel from there to any part
07:30of the world of the country so it is easier to start and have a small airport itself then how do we
07:35construct the small airport so what is going to be the ecosystem what are going to be the parameters
07:41what kind of flights are going to come what is the terminal building capacity that you want to handle
07:46so an interesting intervention that we are trying to do now for the future airports that we are going
07:51to build is classify them as large medium and small airports and the other introduction that we are doing
07:58is cargo airports also we believe the unutilized sector in the indian aviation market today is how
08:04we are imagining the cargo sector we don't have the policy of immediate uh uh courier of things where
08:12you want to see them done in 24 hours if you have had the experience of united states then you have the
08:17express delivery within 24 hours you order something or you want to get something you are able to ship
08:23it within 24 hours you are getting with the convenient fees that is going to be added to it
08:27but india doesn't have that we are just ordering and it's coming at its own time so the mindset of
08:32having it as an express delivery that can only be achieved if you can crack the indian air cargo
08:37model and for that air cargo when i see it to the airports and dmr is also running the airports
08:43their major concentration is on the civil operations their major concentration is on the passengers
08:50because they are very sensitive element you have to take care of them and when it's
08:54of with the existing passenger network if you want to do the cargo cargo always takes the backseat
09:00and you are not able to create the proper ecosystem through which cargo can also flourish
09:05and the most important there thing there is to bring down the costs the cost as compared to the rail
09:11and the road today rail and road is giving a tough competition under modiji even the rail network is
09:16spreading across all the country even northeast is having rail network now which was unbelievable before
09:21and you are seeing the roads also how gutkariji is expanding two lane to four lane four lane to six
09:25lane six lane to eight lane so everything is getting faster all the other networks so only way we can
09:31compete with the existing networks in terms of cargo is how do you make it more economically viable
09:37so to crack that model we also felt that you somewhere need to have cargo airports this is what happens
09:42in the us where fedex has a separate airport just to handle cargo and with the ecosystem with a
09:48population of 140 crore people and such huge economic demand in big gdp country that we have
09:55why can't we have cargo airport so that is one intervention that we are going to do we are going
09:59to select some areas dedicatedly and make them cargo airports and also the in the existing airports now
10:06what do we do with the existing airports to prepare cargo so now you know that our honorable prime minister
10:12just to promote products according to the region he has started one district one product
10:16so we are trying to streamline the ecosystem in our district so that all the people who are there
10:23get connected to producing or developing or creating a certain product and that gets connected to the
10:29whole ecosystem there and that specialization and the expertise in developing that product comes in
10:34that area so similarly taking that idea and stretching it into aviation just like how we have one district
10:40one product now all the airports we are trying to analyze them with a concept of one airport one
10:46product so what is the best product that is available near that airport and in the cargo ecosystem of
10:52that airport you create all the necessary elements so it gets streamlined now you have like vizag airport
10:58there's a lot of pharma that is happening for pharma you need cold storage you need a specific way of
11:03handling that cargo so why not concentrate and improve the necessity around that there are some airports
11:08where there is aquaculture happening so that requires a certain expertise there are some
11:13airports where there is a flower market there and the flowers are supposed to be exported to other
11:17countries also internationally so how do you develop the cargo ecosystem in that airport so that it gets
11:23specifically designed and streamlined for a certain product so one district one airport one product
11:29is another concept that we are working on these are some of the airport related concepts that we are working
11:34on other than airports which is the infrastructure we are looking into the passenger amenities passenger
11:40services that is the topmost priority the moment i have taken charge as the civil aviation minister
11:45i told the country and the people of this country that no matter what kind of policy we bring in
11:49whatever we do at the core of our policy making is going to be the people of this country the passengers
11:55of this country and it is with that idea and attitude that we have worked out and the special
12:00intervention which we have done and which i am also very very proud of is the udon yathri cafes you would
12:06have never imagined because this was the feedback i got and i have also personally seen i have learned
12:12it from the passengers udon yathri cafe has been such an intervention in the country we have given
12:21these yathri cafes where the tea is going to cost you 10 rupees and this is in an airport coffee is going
12:27to cost you 20 rupees a samosa is going to cost you 20 rupees have you ever imagined going to an airport
12:33and drinking a tea for 10 rupees and it's a high quality tea not just a regular tea that you are going to get
12:38these are airports but because we are seeing i have told you the numbers of how passengers have grown
12:44today air travel is not only for the elite or the luxury people india wants to have the lower income
12:50neo middle class the lower income groups middle class groups they also have to come into this air travel network
12:57that is the advantage this country has is the capacity now to bring them honorable prime minister has
13:04created the udon ecosystem and the udon scheme through which the unserved and underserved airports
13:10of the country we were able to connect by offering some viability gap funding and through that tier 2
13:15cities tier 3 cities where there was a challenge of connecting the flights to those cities now they are
13:22properly connected well connected to the large cities and the other tier 2 cities now the other problem
13:28that we started experiencing in that is when these lower income groups are coming into the airport they
13:33were finding it challenging to buy something if they are extremely hungry the kind of prices they were
13:39having at the airports then they were finding it extremely challenging for them to buy something
13:44then we thought there was an intervention that is required here and we started the udon
13:48yathri cafe we started one in kolkata airport last year and the celebrations of 100 years of kolkata
13:55airport and the kind of success we have the response that we have achieved from the people
14:01was tremendous and unbelievable it was the top sales store in that airport itself which was the udon
14:07yathri cafe and then we started getting calls from all airports that we want a udon yathri cafe here and
14:12there and we have been doing it consistently in all the airports and that is one intervention that we are
14:17going to do in all the airports in the country wherever you go you will find one udon yathri cafe
14:24where tea is going to cost you 10 rupees coffee is going to cost you 20 rupees so that is the
14:29intervention that we are bringing in the indian airport system and the second thing that we want
14:34to do an initiative very small initiatives but this is how much we are trying to care for the travel the
14:41passenger travel of the passengers there is a concept called flybrady this was started in bhuvaneshwar airport
14:47so there is a rack where are the where there are books so these are all free books that the
14:51airport is giving it to you the rack is there the passenger who is traveling he can go to the rack
14:57pick a book of his choice study while he's traveling and there is going to be a drop down rack at the
15:02destination airport and once he is done with it he can just place it there and he can make it usable for
15:07the next passenger that is going to go so there is no need of buying any books this is as you go you
15:12can find your book of choice you can read it as you go and you can drop it off and we are calling
15:17this flybrary we have started this in two three in asia two three airports and this is an ecosystem
15:22that we want to spread across all airports then we have the same concept of the one district one
15:29product the products which are very geotagged or geographically identified to that specific location
15:36we want to create the same network in the airport where you go to a certain area you want to buy the best
15:41product of that area and you want to buy which is locally made by the women that are there by the
15:46self-help groups that are there so we are bringing in another concept of having this local stores
15:51which is going to sell you the local products so these are some of the initiatives and then we have
15:56play areas also in the airports which are dedicated for the children that are going to come there so
16:02all the service oriented activities we are going to transform them so that it becomes more convenient
16:07for the passengers who are traveling one thing we all see when we are going to the airport we are
16:11going through the traffic we are trying to catch the flight there shouldn't be any delay no we hope
16:16that the gates don't close by the time you go there and you probably want to go a little bit early
16:20so that you can buy that extra meal in the airport and eat something so it is always a very anxious
16:26affair whenever you go into the airport you are hurrying and your mind is on the nervousness that gets
16:31created the anxiety that gets created so we want to create these airports as a less anxious less
16:38nervous it should be a nervous free zone so we are bringing in a lot of concepts psychologically
16:45we are trying to build the airports in such a way that your whole your anxiety at the airports gets
16:52down so these are some interventions that we are going to do in the future and some opportunities that
16:56are there in aviation especially i see a lot of young people that are there here wondering
17:01what can i do with aviation so there are multiple concepts one the technologies that are associated
17:07with engineer with aviation the engineering that is associated with aviation it is continuously evolving
17:13when there is an upgrade in technology the first sector that gets affected as the first sector where
17:17there needs to be a change is aviation so there is a lot of opportunity but for tech related people
17:24to continuously associate with this sector and bring in new technologies right from dealing with the
17:29aircrafts their movement traffic control and right from operating in the airports creating digital twins
17:34creating a better model ecosystem for flow of things in the airports and many other areas where technology
17:41can do a change so this is one area where people can work in and the second thing is manufacturing we have
17:47an ecosystem of around 400 to 500 msmes who are supplying global standard products which go into the
17:56manufacturing of an aircraft like airbus boeing lockheed martin and other engine manufacturers they are all
18:04procuring now components from india so this is a major change that we have brought in in the country
18:10under the leadership of honorable prime minister we have made the country an attractive destination for
18:16manufacturing with the idea of atma nirbar bharat we are developing the whole manufacturing ecosystem
18:23into a new level where people are willing people are willing to trust india to get their products
18:28manufactured here so we have two billion dollar market right now where the aerospace components
18:35aircraft components are getting manufactured here by 2030 we have a target that this should go up to
18:40four billion dollars and we are very much on the track and this is an area of investment that people
18:46can make to explore and see how you can use this ecosystem that is getting built up and make more parts
18:52which go into the aircrafts so this is one area and then from the ministry we have another goal a
18:59prime goal of having a full aircraft designed and manufactured in the country itself that is a long
19:05term goal it has been there for a long time but no considerable uh filling up of the gaps but now we see
19:11that india has come to the stage where we can manufacture we can design we can maintain our own aircraft
19:18today so that is one area we are actively working on i want to see more investment coming into this
19:23area of manufacturing either components or either aircrafts i see a lot of interest in this area so
19:29that is one area where people can look into in the future also and there are new technologies that are
19:34there drones you have all seen our honorable chief minister also continuously talks about it civil
19:39operations defense operations you have seen in operation sindur how important it is for a country
19:44to have the drone ecosystem in a very strong and when very uh uh comprehended manner and now defense
19:52sector we are seeing a lot of investment in drone sector and also civilian operations because the
19:57ground level utilization of drones from agriculture sanitation law and order construction land management
20:05there are multiple numerous amount of advantages that drones have so drone infrastructure is something
20:12which are actively looking in for investments and the state government has been very active in making
20:18the drone city which is going to attract more than 2 000 crore investment in the 300 acres that has been
20:23designated one advantage the uh karnul drone city is going to have in andhra pradesh is that it is going to
20:30have a dedicated sandbox one challenge we are finding with the drone uh industry is that product it is very
20:36difficult for them to go and test it they need a wide vast area of land which is all free from all the
20:42limitations so that they can test the drone perfectly so that sandbox ecosystem where they can test their
20:48drones is what we are going to cater for in the karnul drone city so that is a very interesting area for
20:54investment and these are some of the concepts and one future technology that everyone should concentrate on
21:00and which india is also trying to get a lead on is the ev tolls electrical vertical takeoff and landing
21:05vehicles this is going to be the future and the huge market and capacity is there in india especially in the
21:11urban cities where traffic management is becoming an issue day and day and there is a huge challenge
21:16of of expanding the roads of widening the roads there without of existing challenges so the important
21:22intervention we want to bring in is ev tolls and if you are there in the session yesterday honorable
21:27chief minister has given a deadline that within two years he wants to see them in the country and the
21:32one reason he has put the deadline is because i am the minister who is handling it he has taken the
21:37good will of announcing it but we are very much on track we are very much on track for seeing ev tolls
21:42in the country within two years but that is a very strategic and important area of investment that
21:48people can look into so technology future technologies like drones and ev tolls manufacturing
21:54and mro ecosystem these are some of the other verticals in aviation which are continuously going to grow
22:01and we are going to see huge investment in that area and one thing that we are specifically
22:05concentrating on the ministry now i've given you the growth statistics i've given you what the future
22:10is going to look like what is required now we need people we need skilled people we need trained
22:16people we need pilots we need cabin crew we need engineers we need ground handling systems we need
22:21all the ecosystems to be powered by people unless you continuously train them for the requirement that
22:26you have the growth that you are trying to see the growth that you are going to foresee
22:31is not going to be achieved i'll just give you one example on how we are going to tackle the skilled
22:36ecosystem or skilling and training the ftos which is the flying training organizations which creates
22:42the pilots the number of pilots today is roughly around 8 000 i think around two three thousand or not
22:49actively in the operations we have 1700 aircraft orders right now pending in the country let it be with
22:58airbus or boeing 1700 aircrafts we have 834 aircrafts which are operational in the country so more than
23:05double that we have orders yet to come and to run one plane one aircraft in a proper schedule you will
23:12need at least 10 to 15 pilots per aircraft so that they can do the routes according to their schedule
23:18so 1700 planes 10 to 15 pilots the requirement would be around 25 to 30 000 that is going to be generated
23:26now as these planes come in imagine 30 000 pilots that is the demand that is there right now and how
23:32do you do it with the existing ftos they can only produce a limited number so we want to expand the
23:38fto network and i'm very happy to say that in andhra pradesh itself we are starting four new ftos
23:43two in karnool airport today we just had an mou for rajamandri airport there is one interested
23:48party for vijavada airport and we are going to do that more and more so training and skilling is one area
23:54which is very very uh attractive area for investment and also someone with that interest
24:01to deal into so ground uh pilot training ground handling engineers all these sectors there is a
24:07huge requirement and there is also another problem in that area which we have to tackle it right now
24:12the gulf the countries which are surrounding they are also expanding now they all see that aviation
24:19has a huge multiplier effect one job in aviation creates six jobs in other sectors it has a direct
24:26direct impact in other sectors one job you create in aviation six other jobs get created in the economy
24:32this is ayata's figure of one is to six multiplier but when they came and saw india the indian multiplier
24:39effect is 15 one job is in aviation is creating 15 jobs in the direct and indirect sectors so that kind
24:47of impact aviation has it is very very important for us to train our individuals and to have the
24:53skilling and training and ecosystem also perfectly done in the country so these are various aspects
25:00that we are looking into and on top of that cargo today has been a very special day for aviation
25:05cargo we are starting the vishakapatnam international cargo with apiic ic class and ap tpc thanks to all of
25:13them who have come together and going to start the vishakapatnam air cargo today and also we have
25:18started the flight operations from vijaywada to singapore today today was the first flight that
25:23happened we couldn't go because the session was here but there was huge excitement for people who
25:29are coming from singapore and especially australia or west coast of the united states of america they
25:35were finding it very challenging to come to this side of the country and now with the connection of
25:39singapore to vijaywada that is going to be a huge beneficial for the international diaspora the
25:45the indian diaspora that is there in singapore vijaywada connected to singapore now vishakapatnam
25:51we have connected to abu dhabi there are many more requests but we are going to take some time because
25:57the biggest necessity in the market today is aircrafts we don't have the aircrafts to cater for the demand
26:02but as and when the situation improves definitely the connectivity in andhra also we are going to
26:06improve earlier there was no direct connectivity from rajmandri to delhi or bombay we have done it
26:12in the last one year tiriputi delhi was not there we were done it in the last year and many different
26:17sectors where there was a huge demand of connecting we have done it in the last one year and in the
26:22future also we are going to grow the domestic connectivity and the international connectivity
26:27and likewise when bhogapuram is going to come we are envisioning we are talking with the airlines so the
26:32international connectivity and the domestic connectivity improves to many other destinations
26:37and i'm also happy to say umeshji from trujet is also here he is also willing to start a new airline
26:43and we are going to keep vishakapatnam bhogapuram as the hub he's going to start his operations with
26:48three airbus from february i'm announcing it so that it gets done on time so three airbus from uh
26:55trujet services are going to start again we are very very excited because right now you see and this is
27:00the complaint which i also get always that it is air india or indigo this is the only two travelers
27:05that are there but i've been constantly trying to promote the indian aviation industry and i'm giving
27:10you one statement which gives you the size of capacity that india has today we have the size to
27:15operate three indigos indigo has the maximum number of aircrafts up to 400 we can have three airline
27:22operators at the size of indigo and we can have at least five operators operating in the country with
27:27hundred airlines each so that is the capacity that we have even though we are restricted to two
27:33players now we from the ministry are actively engaging with the industry to improve the situation
27:38we want more airlines to come in but there is a common joke that gets around how do you become a
27:43millionaire you take a billionaire and then you start an airline they become a millionaire this is
27:47the joke that is going around but it is just a joke but this is the time when you can start an
27:52airline there are multiple people who are starting airlines today we are seeing small airlines that
27:57are there star air is one india one air is one fly big is one so there are multiple airline operators
28:03who are starting with three five aircrafts ten aircrafts and they are doing wonderful business
28:08operating between tier two and tier three cities so this is the time if anyone is willing to start
28:13an airline also this is the time and i am telling you that i will give you all the support that is
28:17required for you from the ministry and from the government and this is the time where people have
28:23to come in people have to involve themselves in the growth story of aviation aviation is no longer to
