CHAPTER-1: INTRODUCTION
Overview of Industry as a whole
Air Charter Service (ACS) is an aircraft charter provider with 17 offices spanning 5 continents. Air
Charter Service does not own any aircraft, but arranges helicopter, private jet, commercial
airline and cargo aircraft charters for a wide and diverse range of clients.
Air Charter Service was founded in 1990 by Chris Leach in the UK, starting out as a small specialist
aviation company committed to high standards of customer service that has grown to become a worldleading member of the aircraft charter industry - arranging 7,500 full charters per year.
An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air, or, in general,
the atmosphere of a planet. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using
the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet.
The human activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft are flown by an
onboard pilot, but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard
computers. Aircraft may be classified by different criteria, such as lift type, propulsion, usage and
others.
A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the
helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. These
attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft and
many forms of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft cannot perform.
The word helicopter is adapted from the French language hlicoptre, coined by Gustave Ponton
d'Amcourt in 1861, which originates from the twisted, curved and Petron "wing". English-language
nicknames for helicopter include "chopper", "copter", "helo", "heli" and "whirlybird".

and
may
form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for mutual benefit. Generally, airline companies are
recognized with an air operating certificate or license issued by a governmental aviation body.
Airlines vary from those with a single aircraft carrying mail or cargo, through full-service international
airlines operating hundreds of aircraft. Airline services can be categorized as being intercontinental,
intra-continental, domestic, regional, or international, and may be operated as scheduled services or
charters.
A cargo aircraft (also known as freight aircraft, freighter, airlifter, or cargo jet) is a fixed-wing
aircraft that is designed or converted for the carriage of goods, rather than passengers. Such aircraft
usually do not incorporate passenger amenities, and generally feature one or more large doors for
loading cargo. Freighters may be operated by civil passenger or cargo airlines, by private individuals or
by the armed forces of individual countries.

Strengths:
1. Growing tourism: Due to growth in tourism, there has been an increase in number of the
international and domestic passengers. The estimated growth of domestic passenger segment is at
50% per annum and growth for international passenger segment is 25%
Growth in tourism is also a major strength as it has led to a significant increase in the number of
domestic and international passengers with statistics indicating a 50% growth in the number of
domestic
flyers
and
25%
increase
in
the
number
of
international
flyers.
2. Rising income levels: Due to the rise in income levels, the disposable income is also higher which
are expected to enhance the number of flyers.
One of the strengths of an organization in the aviation industry is the growing income levels.
The growth in individual incomes increases the amount of disposable income and hence many
people are able to utilize the carriers to fly to their destinations.
Weaknesses:
1. Under penetrated Market : The total passenger traffic was only 50 million as on 31st Dec 2005
amounting to only 0.05 trips per annum as compared to developed nations like United States have
2.02 trips per annum.
2. Untapped Air Cargo Market: Air cargo market has not yet been fully taped in the Indian markets
and is expected that in the coming years large number of players will have dedicated fleets.
3.
Infrastructural constraints: The infrastructure development has not kept pace with the growth in
aviation services sector leading to a bottleneck. Huge investment requirement for physical
infrastructure for airports.
Opportunities:

Methodology
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It
comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of
knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model, phases and
quantitative or qualitative techniques.
A methodology does not set out to provide solutions - it is, therefore, not the same thing as a method.
Instead, it offers the theoretical underpinning for understanding which method, set of methods or so
called best practices can be applied to specific case, for example, to calculate a specific result.
The nature of research can be either qualitative or quantitative or both. According to Malhotra
(1996:164), qualitative research is an unstructured, exploratory research method based on small
samples intended to provide insight and understanding about the problem statement. Quantitative
research involves the collection of primary data from a large number of individuals, frequently with the
intention of projecting the results onto the larger population. (Martins et al, 1996:125)
Secondary Data
Secondary data was collected through various journals, e-journals, magazines & books available on
this subject. The articles & research papers published were also the part of the study. The HRD policies
of the concerned organizations were also significant to the study
Dependent Variable: Walsh (2002:1) defines dependent variable as the response or behavior in an
experiment that is being studied in order to determine if it has been influenced by or altered by the
independent variable. It is therefore, the presumed outcome or criterion. The dependent variable in this
study is retention of commercial pilots by Indian air carriers.

The Model 90 King Air was conceived as the Model 120 in 1961. In May 1963, Beech craft began test
flights of the proof-of-concept Model 87, a modified Queen Air with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-6
engines. On 14 July, Beech announced a new type, and a month later began accepting orders for the
"King Air", with deliveries to commence in autumn 1964. After 10 months of test flying, in 1964 the
Model 87 was delivered to the United States Army as the NU-8F. On 24 January, the first definitive
prototype, by now designated Model 65-90 and also fitted with PT6A-6 engines, flew for the first time.

Cargo Handling
Delhi airport's cargo handling capacity is set to witness a major jump by 2012-end with the total
overhauling of its existing infrastructure. Celebes Holding, the Turkey-based company that enjoys
monopoly rights of cargo handling in Delhi at present, is working to completely modernize
facilities with addition of automated systems, efficient equipment and systematic storage.
The company, which also provides ground handling services to some airlines in both Delhi and
Mumbai, has bid for the same at Kochi and Ahmedabad airports . Announcing its intention to
invest an additional around $100 million in India, Celebi Holding chairman Can Celebioglu said:
"The company has already invested about $140 million in Delhi and Mumbai till the end of 2010.
We have been in talks with several airlines for ground handling and will add Thai Airways to our
list of customers this year. India has tremendous potential for growth in the aviation sector and
while we are handling mostly international flights right now, we would also like to work for the
domestic
sector."
The company is providing ground handling services for Kingfisher Airline's domestic operations
in Mumbai, and for some Jet Airway's and Air India's international flights in Delhi. Celebi also
services Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa and Air France flights in Delhi and Mumbai. It is handling
32,000 flights out of the two cities at present, excluding the few AI flights from Delhi.

Aircraft Refueling
The procedure allows the receiving aircraft to remain airborne longer, extending its range or loiter time
on station. A series of air refueling can give range limited only by crew fatigue and engineering factors
such as engine oil consumption. Because the receiver aircraft can be topped up with extra fuel in the
air, air refueling can allow a takeoff with a greater payload which could be weapons, cargo, or
personnel: the maximum take-off weight is maintained by carrying less fuel and topping up once
airborne. Alternatively, a shorter take-off roll can be achieved because take-off can be at a lighter
weight before refueling once airborne. Aerial refueling has also been considered as a means to reduce
fuel consumption on long distance flights greater than 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km; 3,500 mi).
Potential fuel savings in the range of 35-40% have been estimated for long haul flights (including the
fuel used during the tanker missions).
The two main refueling systems are probe-and-drogue, which is simpler to adapt to existing aircraft,
and the flying boom, which offers faster fuel transfer, but requires a dedicated operator station.
Aircraft Maintenance
Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft
component.
In Canada, maintenance includes the installation or removal of a component from an aircraft or aircraft
subassembly, but does not include:
Page
58
Elementary work, such as removing and replacing tires, inspection plates, spark plugs, checking
cylinder compression etc., on small privately operated aircraft ; or removal and replacement of
fuses, light bulbs etc., on transport category aircraft .
Any work done on an aircraft or aircraft component as part of the manufacturing process, prior to
issue of a certificate of airworthiness or other certification document.
Last quarter saw the three major Indian airports Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad increase
Hyderabad airport, which began operation in March last year, has also seen its non-aeronautical
revenues jump to 44% of its total revenues in the same quarter. It was negligible a year back.
Kapil Kaul, chief executive officer (CEO) of Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation-India and Middle
East, said the recent spurt in non-aeronautical earnings was mainly because such a revenue stream
has now been inbuilt in the business model of new and modernized airports.
Earlier, duty-free and domestic retailing, food and beverages and such services did not exist at
airports. Today, airports are leveraging these avenues of revenues. It will go up further in coming
times to reach the international benchmark of over 70%, he said.
Higher non-aeronautical revenue helps airports reduce dependence on income from airport
charges, which can fluctuate with the swings in the ATMs. It also cross subsidizes airport charges,
making them competitive for airlines.
Over the last one year, airports have been witnessing drops in the ATMs, with airlines cutting back
capacity to tune it air passenger traffic growth. According to the latest data put out by Airports
Authority of India (AAI), total ATMs in May were down 4.6% year-on-year, while passenger
traffic slipped 3.2%.
This is forcing airports to aggressively look at non-aeronautical revenues. For MIAL, the major
contributor to this segment of income was vehicle parking, followed by duty-free retailing.

The Mumbai airport currently has 38 counters at the domestic and international terminals,
There could be several reasons for poor workmanship including poor supervision or insufficient funds.
Which brings us to the question we are posing here: Is AAI badly off? Or, should it be running airports
at all or would it be better off just administering airports for a fat fee?
Both Mumbai and Delhi airports were privatized a few years ago. But its not a complete privatization
AAI has a 45% claim to the revenues of each of the airport companies, Mumbai International Airport
Ltd (MIAL) and Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL). In the last 5 years, the AAI has earned Rs
4,749 crore thanks to its share of revenue.
More specifically, since 2007, almost 20% of its current annual revenue comes from its stakes in Delhi
and Mumbai Airport. And a small amount from Bangalore and Hyderabad airports where it has a 13%
stake.

Airports operated as autonomous entities, under public or private ownership, are normally required to
provide the following financial statements: a) income statement (revenue and expense statement); b)
balance sheet; and cash flow statement. In order to produce the financial statements, a system must be
developed for identifying various types of financial outlay and receipts. This involves establishing
individual accounts, each showing a specific type of revenue, expense, asset or liability and cash flow.
While the income statement, as indicated in paragraph 3.14, shows the revenues and expenses of the
airport over a specific time period, the balance sheet is a snapshot of the financial health of the airport
on a specific date, showing the value of assets and liabilities in relation to the net value or equity
(including retained earnings). The number of accounts established for a specific airport accounting

Recommendation
Air India has enjoyed the unique position of being considered the National Carrier of the
country. This is in spite of the fact that there are many other Indian Carriers today who are
operating both domestic and international flights. In spite of this advantage, it is also a fact that
Air India is no more the favored airline of passengers, both Indian as also International. The
services and criteria that benchmark a favored and popular airline are perceived to be absent in
Air India. The discerning passenger who may be a corporate, businessman, tourist or civil
servant who has to spend long hours in flight looks for a comfortable, luxurious and salubrious
environment. Attentive, efficient, pleasant and courteous service from the crew on board is an
added attraction.

APPENDIX
Private Charter Services vs. Commercial Airline Flights
1) Is flying via a private air service similar to first class fare?
Generally speaking, no. Consider the following example for private jet charter: A round trip
(JFK-MIA-JFK) in first class seating with a major airline will cost approximately $1,173.00 per
person. In comparison, a private charter round trip (JFK-MIA-JFK) in a mid-size aircraft will
cost approximately $34,000.00/entire aircraft.
2) What is the difference between private aircraft flights and commercial flights?
There are two major differences between private charter and commercial flights: cost and
flexibility. While booking a flight via jet services companies is generally more expensive, they
provide a much higher degree of flexibility. With Pentastar your charter will fly on YOUR
schedule to the domestic or international destinations of YOUR choice. Our service to both
major and general aviation airports gives you access to more than ten times as many domestic
destinations as via commercial airlines. In addition, we have international experience operating
in more than 80 countries.
3) Is it more cost efficient to charter a jet, if I am traveling with a group of 10 or 15?
Because jet charter is not priced on a per person or ticket basis, it is not likely that it would be
more cost effective for a group of 10-15 individuals to charter a jet compared with flying
commercially in coach or first class. Even if the total costs for a charter trip are split among 10
people, the cost each person would cover would still be significant.
4) What is Allowed on Flights?
How much luggage can I take? Are golf clubs allowed on private jets? Like commercial aircraft,
private jets also have weight limits with regard to the amount of luggage that can be stowed
during a trip. Items such as skis and golf clubs are allowed as long as they conform to the
dimensions and weight limits of the aircraft. These weight limits vary by aircraft type. Ask
