A massive change is set to take place in India’s aviation sector as a result of the steep decline in crude prices, says Denzil Keelor, Former DGCA Advisor.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Keelor says Indian airline companies finally have a chance to run their operations profitably even at a 50 percent passenger load.
He says companies should drop fares as it will draw more fliers and boost revenues.
Keelor is not impressed by national flag carrier Air India reporting a Rs 14 crore-profit in December.
He says even a Rs 200-300 crore profit for Air India is insignificant because of the accumulated losses of over Rs 30,000 crore.
Keelor says Air India has been able to survive only because of the backing of the government.
