Civil Aviation In India: Challenges and Prospects

A leading aerospace journalist for almost half a century, Hormuz P. Mama started his career as Technical Editor for Air Space Age. Over the decades, he held senior positions with major international journals, including that of a Senior Editor for Airport Forum of Germany, and Asia Editor for the Swiss journal Interavia.

India, with a population of 1.1 billion, would seem an ideal environment for air travel. However, in reality, the air travel market of India is much smaller than believed and just about 2.5 percent of the population flies at least once a year.

Beneath can be found a system of unifying beliefs that have guided the lives of ordinary families for generations. Here, one of the most profound philosophers of India explains these and other related concepts intrinsic to the Hindu philosophy of life.
