11.45-12.15 Airport development in India: the need for direct international points of
access in Tier II cities
Ansgar Sickert, managing director, Fraport Airport Operations
India Pvt Ltd, India
The presentation will provide an overview of the current aviation scenario in India. It will
also touch on major airport projects in Asia, highlighting the urgent need for investment
in India’s airport infrastructure. Due to global demand based on increasing globalisation,
growing tourism to and from India and rapidly increasing FDI, India is in dire need of more
direct international gateways into the country. The presentation will argue that much of this
is already happening, and with less than 2% of the Indian public currently taking to the skies,
the potential for sustained growth remains enormous, notwithstanding short-term difficulties
caused by the price of oil.

12.15-12.45 Key issues confronting Indian airport operators
Satyaki Ragunath, associate director, head Asian aviation practice, Jacobs
Consultancy, UK
Despite unprecedented growth levels, there has been ambiguity and concern at major
airports in India about the benefits of public vs. private-sector involvement and issues of
costs and benefits to users and investors. This session will focus on issues that the major
private airports are facing and what the operators and stakeholders see as key to making PPP
projects work in the aviation sector. The presentation will cover regulation and policy in India,
investor confidence, multiple airports in large metropolitan regions, privately funded airports
and merchant airports, single vs dual till systems, financing large capital programmes and
getting the airlines and users to pay a fair share of their costs in a volatile environment, fuel
costs and impacts in India

12.45-13.15 Indian airports development: case study of Udaipur Airport
Sandeep Goel, principal, Suresh Goel & Associates, India
The presentation will focus on the design and planning issues and challenges pertaining to
development of non-metro airports in India. Udaipur Airport is in a city whose economy is
governed by tourism. It was one of the first such non-metro airports to be modernised
under the Airports Authority of India project for modernisation of 35 non-metro airports.
The case study will share the experience of typical non-metro airports being developed or
upgraded in India and give useful insights into such developments. The project illustrates
the potential for identity within a framework of contemporary architecture, responsive to
the design programmes for the non-metro airports, which are smaller and susceptible to
mid-course changes.
