In the fields of airport operations, airport engineering construction, cargo management, airport finance, airport commercial, land management, HR management and aviation law human resources have to be constantly upgraded. An increase is observed in hiring of direct staff including pilots, engineers, cabin crew, ground staff, airport staff, air cargo, maintenance, repair and operations and air navigation staff. More demand is expected in management and operations profile. Liberalization of the economy, De-regulation, Open sky policy and Public-Private Partnerships has boosted the air traffic movements. Airports are seeing rapid expansion and modernization.
This sector is expected to bring a large amount of employment opportunities in the coming 2-3 decades but along with it, emerges the bigger challenge of requirement of highly skilled aviation professionals. Skilled manpower requirements are estimated to increase to 30000 from 20000 for airports whereas for airlines the rise is estimated from 62000 to 117000. Requirement for ground handling, flight catering, aviation security and other related areas will treble from 90000 to 270000. RK Srivastava, the chairman of Airports Authority of India said that there would be hiring at airports as well. The Narendra Modi government aims to set up low cost airports. It will be around 200 in number. It is established to facilitate air travel to smaller towns, according to the economic survey. The government has modernized 33 existing small airports, expanding their passenger terminals and lengthening runways.
There are various academies to train students for logistics and supply chain management institute in kochi. Various courses are there to train executives in air cargo management. They are trained to handle and process air cargo. Also they are taught about cargo management at airports, import export cargo handling procedures, cargo capacity of aircraft, effective warehousing management. Short duration programs are included to serve executives for their professional and skill development. The development and expansion in the Indian air cargo sector has resulted in tremendous opportunities for training and employment in this sector as both the government and private sectors have come at forefront with a positive approach.
Dubai flower center, a multistory facility located next to the Dubai cargo village is one of the most advanced cold storage. It is specially designed for storage of flowers. It is designed for processing of flowers imported primarily from Africa for both the local market and for distribution to the region. The initial stage for this center was designed for an annual throughout of up to 180000 tonnes of flowers. The perishable handling area in Dubai cargo mega terminal is about 4623 square meters floor space with 3927 square meters of 218 individual cells of temperature zones. Narobi is another airport having a pair of on-airport refrigerated storage facilities operated by the ground handling subsidiary of Kenya Airways, as well as a standalone cold storage operated by DHL on the airport and Swiss port off the airport.
Changi terminals offers dedicated care in perishable handling facility that is temperature monitored and humidity controlled to cater different types of requirements and a wide range of commodities. When we consider the case of India it is a long way to go as it has just stepped into this. In dealing with the perishables it is at nascent stage of growth in the Indian air cargo sector when it is compared to international scenario. There are many sectors where the Indian market really needs to buck up.
India has the potential to become one of the world’s great air cargo centers. A population of more than 1.2 billion, rapid growth of international trade and huge manufacturing engine all bode well for the industry. But whatever the reason, it is unknown that India has not realized this great potential. It is agreed by the participants that inadequate infrastructure in the country is a major obstacle followed by the cost inefficiencies and the need for governmental and tax reforms. In 1960 the per capita income of Singapore at purchasing power parity was two and half times India’s. In 2010 it was 15 times richer. This a country which handled 531 million tonnes of cargo in 2010 with only 276 square miles area having a little beyond a good harbor in 1960.
In airports of Dubai and Hong Kong bulk of their cargo is transshipment cargo which does not have to undergo customs clearance unlike in India where the transshipment component is an insignificant proportion of the total throughput handled. So comparison of dwell time of Indian airports with hub airports like Hong Kong, Dubai etc are not realistic. Indian airports must transform to international cargo hubs. They can adopt more systematic approach, observe international standards adopted at airports to achieve this. This is possible only if government and industry work together. It is evident that the future is bright for the air cargo sector. For developing the cargo hubs infrastructure and airlines have a great role to play. We have to translate ideas into action. Government look forward for ideas from the industry players to work together. But we need to look at the prevailing challenges in order to begin with a change.
