The air transport sector makes a considerable contribution to the Indian economy. As per a latest ‘Project Rupee Raftaar’ report by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, an Oxford Economics analysis shows that the air transport sector directly contributes 390,000 jobs in India. This includes airlines, airport operators, airport on-site enterprises like restaurants and retail, aircraft manufacturers and air navigation service providers.
Addition to that, by buying goods and services from local suppliers, the sector supported another 570,000 jobs across the supply chain.
