INDIA AVIATION: Beechcraft gears up for Indian growth

Beechcraft sees significant opportunities for growth in India, and believes that the country is progressing towards embracing business and general aviation. "India is making progress and things are improving," says John Williams, the company's newly- appointed country director for India. "There are still issues but they are working on them." Wiliams was speaking with Flightglobal at the India Aviation show in Hyderabad. The company brought three aircraft to the show: a King Air 350ER, a King Air 250, and a King Air C90GTx. Beechcraft's confidence is highlighted by the recent opening of an office in New Delhi and appointment of Williams. Prior to joining Beechcraft, Williams worked for a major US defence contractor, where he spent years dealing with India's military acquisition offset processes. Williams estimates that there are 65 Beechcraft turboprop and piston aircraft operating in India. Most of these are owned by state governments, charter companies, and other firms. One challenge Williams sees is that India makes no distinction between aircraft used for private or air transport purposes. This greatly complicates, and adds cost, to owning an aircraft in the country. Other items, such as gaining flyover permits from Indian states, can take up to 72 hours to obtain. Still, he has noted definite improvements over recent years, such as reduced bureaucracy in relation to obtaining landing permits.

CEOs call for indigenisation, single certifying agency

BANGALORE: The CEOs forum at the ongoing India Aviation show at Hyderabad has largely felt that the Indian aviation industry would be better off with single certifying agency authorised to issue civil and military flying rights simultaneously for any aircraft produced in the country. A press note from HAL said: "The participation of high profile CEOs from Indian industry chaired by secretary, civil aviation, Ashok Lavasa, had free-wheeling discussions on several contentious as well as on-going business challenges." HAL chairman R K Tyagi, said that a single certifying agency would be in the national interest as it would mean huge savings in terms of costs and time. "It is absolutely must to give fillip to our own products both in civilian and military segments and reduce dependency on foreign products," he added. The theme of the forum was 'Development of Sustainable Air Connectivity". The discussions also focused on the critical issue of some Indian products getting approval from relevant certifying agencies in Europe and USA. "For example, our products such as Dhruv helicopter (civil and military variants) has proved its metal in the most challenging situation why shouldn't it fly in America or anywhere else," Tyagi asked, insisting that quick procedural solutions must be found at various levels to pave way for Indian products to fly abroad.
