Praful Patel Exclusive | Minister Flags Risks of Airline Monopolies and Regulatory Gaps

In this special report, a former Civil Aviation Minister discusses the challenges facing India's aviation sector, highlighting the risks of market monopolies. The speaker notes that 'having a 65% monopoly of the market is not a healthy sign' and argues that the dominance of a single airline is a result of default rather than design. The discussion addresses the recent crisis involving flight duty time limitations (FDTL) and the shortage of pilots. The former minister emphasizes the need for effective regulation and the entry of more serious players to ensure better services and fares for passengers. The speaker also reflects on the Open Skies Policy, denying allegations of cronyism and stressing that the sector requires balanced oversight to protect consumer interests while ensuring operational stability.
