India builds aviation megahubs but policy bottlenecks stall global takeoff
Agencies On the tarmac, India looks unstoppable. Delhi's fourth runway and twin elevated taxiways are designed to raise the Capital's throughput to a staggering 109 mn passengers a year - higher than the tally of Atlanta, the world's busiest airport. Two new megahubs - Navi Mumbai, built to accommodate 60-90 mn travellers, and Noida's Jewar airport, planned for 70 mn - are racing towards mid-decade openings. Meanwhile, domestic carriers have ordered 1,359 jets, led by IndiGo's record 500-plane Airbus deal and Air India's 470-aircraft shopping spree. Yet, above this hardware boom hangs a policy bottleneck: 116 air service agreements (ASAs) that New Delhi has signed, dictating the terms of air operations with different nations. While ASAs are meant to facilitate travel between nations, their lack of dynamism leads to exhaustion of capacity and demand pile-up. For instance, the marquee India-Dubai bilateral still caps each side at 65,000 weekly seats, a limit last adjusted in 2014, which is now almost sold out. It is not just the bilateral with Dubai but individual MoUs with the Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah) that are holding back Indian aviation growth - considering the strong 40 lakh Indian diaspora in the UAE. The result: fares surge during holiday seasons, middle-class families detour through Doha or Riyadh, and India's new terminals risk turning into gleaming domestic halls attached to half-shut international doors. The stakes are macroeconomic, not merely logistical. GDP boost IATA research finds that every 10% rise in a country's air-connectivity index lifts labour productivity by about 0.07%. For an economy approaching $4.1 tn, even a modest 10% connectivity bump created by phased liberalisation would add $2.9 bn to annual output. Aviation supports 7.7 mn jobs and contributes $53.6 bn, or 1.55 of GDP. Applying the same ratios suggests that closing the connectivity gap could create about 4,10,000 additional jobs across airlines, airports, logistics and supply chains. Namaste India GoI data shows forex earnings from tourists hit ₹2,31,927 cr ($28 bn) from 9.52 mn foreign tourist arrivals in 2023. A single extra million inbound travellers - plausible once fares drop and seats expand - would pump close to $3 bn more into hotels, restaurants and heritage ORF study, 'Combined Skies: Unlocking the Benefits of UAE-India Aviation Liberalisation for Indian Travellers', indicates that each 1% rise in India-UAE passenger volume trims average fares by about 0.2%. Consumer is king Granting Dubai the extra 50,000 weekly seats - roughly a 75% capacity jump - could shave 10- 15% off typical ticket prices, delivering an annual consumer surplus windfall well north of $100 mn. Gradual liberalisation in UAE-India air services can generate benefits for Indian consumers upwards of $1 bilateral quotas frozen while airport and fleet capacity explode is the economic equivalent of building an eight-lane expressway and barricading four lanes at the toll and Southeast Asian hubs are only too happy to harvest the spillover: roughly 30% of India's international traffic now flies to or through the UAE, clogging overseas runways that could just as well be Indian transfer protectionist argument - foreign mega-carriers will cannibalise home airlines - does not hold up against regional evidence. Asean's phased Single Aviation Market lifted third-, fourth- and fifth-freedom restrictions during the 2010s and saw passenger volumes and low-cost carrier penetration soar without extinguishing national carriers need open markets more than shelter, the freeze on rights hurts their ability to sweat those shiny new A321neos and A350s across profitable international debate over air services liberalisation is no longer a niche quarrel between airline CEOs and civil aviation bureaucrats. It is a strategic lever for growth, jobs and global stature. India has runways, terminals, aircraft and, critically, the demand. What it lacks is the regulatory clearance to knit these assets into a seamless Indo-Pacific air-logistics bilaterals - starting with a transparent, time-bound schedule of 15-20% annual seat increases between India and the UAE - would align policy with infra, slash fares, lift GDP, and propel millions of tourists directly into India's burgeoning hospitality alternative is to watch the world's fastest-growing aviation market taxi in circles while its neighbours claim the skies. The runway is built. The engines are spooled. New Delhi's only job now is to tell Indian aviation: wheels-up. The writer is researcher, Centre for New Economic Diplomacy, ORF.

Trump's new travel ban takes effect amid immigration enforcement tensions
President Donald Trump's new ban on travel to the US by citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries took effect Monday amid rising tension over the president's escalating campaign of immigration enforcement. The new proclamation, which Trump signed last week, applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It also imposes heightened restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela who are outside the US and don't hold a valid visa. The new ban does not revoke visas previously issued to people from countries on the list, according to guidance issued Friday to all US diplomatic missions. However, unless an applicant meets narrow criteria for an exemption to the ban, his or her application will be rejected starting Monday. Travellers with previously issued visas should still be able to enter the US even after the ban takes effect. During Trump's first term, a hastily written executive order ordering the denial of entry to citizens of mainly Muslim countries created chaos at numerous airports and other ports of entry, prompting successful legal challenges and major revisions to the policy. In the hours after the new ban took effect, no disruptions were immediately discernible at Los Angeles International Airport. And passengers appeared to move steadily through an international arrival area at Miami International Airport, where Magda Moreno and her husband flew home Monday from Cuba. Everything was normal," said Moreno, a Cuban American who had travelled to the Caribbean island nation to visit family. "They only asked me where I was coming from and how many days I was in Cuba. Asked about the new travel restrictions for Cubans, Moreno, a US citizen, said: It is difficult not being able to bring the family and for them not being able to enter into the US. Haitian-American Elvanise Louis-Juste, who was at the airport earlier Sunday in Newark, New Jersey, awaiting a flight to her home state of Florida, said many Haitians wanting to come to the US are simply seeking to escape violence and unrest. I have family in Haiti, so it's pretty upsetting to see and hear, Louis-Juste, 23, said of the travel ban. I don't think it's a good thing. I think it's very upsetting. Many immigration experts say the new ban is more carefully crafted and appears designed to beat court challenges that hampered the first by focusing on the visa application process. Trump said this time that some countries had deficient screening for passports and other public documents or have historically refused to take back their own citizens. He relied extensively on an annual Homeland Security report of people who remain in the US after their visas expired. Measuring overstay rates has challenged experts for decades, but the government has made a limited attempt annually since 2016. Trump's proclamation cites overstay rates for eight of the 12 banned countries. Trump also tied the new ban to a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, saying it underscored the dangers posed by some visitors who overstay visas. US officials say the man charged in the attack overstayed a tourist visa. He is from Egypt, a country that is not on Trump's restricted list. The ban was quickly denounced by groups that provide aid and resettlement help to refugees. This policy is not about national security it is about sowing division and vilifying communities that are seeking safety and opportunity in the United States, said Abby Maxman, president of Oxfam America, a nonprofit international relief organisation. The inclusion of Afghanistan angered some supporters who have worked to resettle its people. The ban does make exceptions for Afghans on Special Immigrant Visas, generally people who worked most closely with the US government during the two-decade-long war there. Afghanistan had been one of the largest sources of resettled refugees, with about 14,000 arrivals in a 12-month period through September 2024. Trump suspended refugee resettlement his first day in office.
