People with ambition to become pilots should look at ‘fascinating’ Indian market: IATA chief

GENEVA: Bullish on the aviation growth prospects in the “fascinating” Indian market, IATA chief Willie Walsh on Tuesday said somebody with an ambition to be a pilot should be looking at India, considering the large number of aircraft orders placed by the domestic airlines.

The Director General of the global airlines’ grouping, which has been flagging issues about high airport charges in India, also mentioned that Indian regulators seem to be more open to listening to the voices of airlines with respect to airport charges.

“(We are seeing) some good economic regulations,” Walsh said in response to a query from PTI related to airport charges.
