Aero zone
Aero Zone will be a geographic concentration/ cluster of advanced technology
enterprises which will address the maintenance, repair and
overhaul (MRO) needs of the global aviation industry”.
Aero Zone would be a “one-stop-shop” for
all kinds of aviation related MRO services and ancillary manufacturing,
supported by integrated infrastructure facilities such as ready
to use factory sheds, office space, world class testing facilities,
training institutions, business centre and other support facilities
- all functioning at one campus.
It would provide a campus-like environment
where high-technology enterprises focused on aviation and talented
people can converge to generate synergistic forces.
The Aero zone would endeavor to be a hub of
all regulatory bodies in aviation sector. Indian & Foreign
regulatory bodies such as DGCA, FAA (USA) and EASA (Europe)
would be encouraged to set-up offices in the Aero Zone.
The objective of Aero Zone is to build
a ‘critical mass’ of leading international aviation
components suppliers and MROs by providing all the required
infrastructure of a cluster at a single location.

Extraordinary growth in airline traffic:
In 2001 the number of aircraft departures in India was
2,16,700. This has increased to 366700 in 2005 and is expected
to grow to 438700 departures in 2006. |

Rapidly rising fleet size: The total fleet size of all
airlines operating out of India are projected to grow rapidly.
Numbers of aircrafts in the country are expected to rise
from 160 in 2004 to around 620 in 2014. In 2005 the fleet
size of Indian carriers was 249. A significant corresponding
increase in revenue passenger kilometers has also been
recorded. |

Emergence of multiple carriers: India has witnessed entry
of airlines across the service spectrum ranging from full
service carriers such as Kingfisher airlines and Paramount
Airlines to a large number of low cost carriers such as
Air Deccan,SpiceJet, Go Air, IndiGo and Premier Airlines. |
With the rapid growth of the aviation sector in India, airport
infrastructure, ATC requirements and concerns, pilot and engineer
shortages have emerged as major areas of concern. The critical
aspect of aircraft maintenance has unfortunately not received
adequate focus and coverage.
However, Since the establishment of HAMCO in July 2005, the
key aspect of aviation maintenance is gradually getting due
recognition. HAMCO endeavors to address all aspects related
to aircraft maintenance by providing specialized services and
support development of concepts such as Aero Zone.
