For a long time, Indian aviation was regarded as a rich man’s mode of travel. A host of low-cost airlines changed that perception in the last decade. But more recently, with most airlines in deep financial trouble and airfares rising sharply, it is once again turning into a rich man’s preserve. But the civil aviation ministry looks determined to stop this reversal. “It is a vital sector for economic growth, and not just some rich man’s play,” union civil aviation minister Mr Ajit Singh said. Addressing the media post the meeting of the consultative committee for the civil aviation ministry in Bangalore, Singh said, “Despite the current financial troubles, one thing is clear, this sector is bound to grow as our middle class keeps growing.”
