Magazine Description
In this issue
Cruising Heights’ September issue looks at the Adani Group taking over six major airports in the country. The group has also got the Mumbai International Airport. The Cover Story discusses what’s in store for the Adani group and the challenges and competition it faces as it takes its first step in its journey in the aviation sector. In addition, there is an indepth story on how global air travel is changing in unimaginable ways as the world stars emerging from the pandemic. And, it has been one step forward and two backward for the country’s domestic carriers ever since the government allowed commercial services to start. However well-intentioned the move by the aviation ministry to cap fares may have been, it has posed huge challenges for carriers. Though air cargo has become a lifeline for the country, the lifting of lockdowns and restrictions has not lessened the woes of the country’s freight forwarders. From the east to the west, north to south, forwarders are braving it out to keep the wheels of the exim trade moving. Plus: All our regular features.

Flying on the razor's edge in 2020
The year that has gone by – 2019 – was possibly the worst year for Indian aviation. Not only did it see the demise of Jet Airways but there was red ink on the balance sheets of domestic carriers.

What Awaits Indian Aviation In 2020?
We have been told that the demise of Jet Airways has not affected aviation growth and all seems to be well but 2019 was one of the worst years in Aviation Safety, writes Capt A Ranganathan.
