It’s been about two months since our last call. During the interim, there has been a lot of Indian aviation news. We discuss the following items:
- Mega orders placed by India’s airlines at the Paris Air Show;
- Insolvency of Go Airlines (India) Limited;
- The implementation of the Cape Town Convention in India, with particular reference to the latest push from the government to pass the latest version of the Bill; this issue, has a huge impact on those big Paris orders for lessors.
- Competition Commission scrutiny of the Vistara – Air India merger.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
