Civil aviation minister Praful Patel has said that the Indian civil aviation sector could attract up to Rs200,000 crore ($45 billion) investment in the next five years, higher than any other sector.

The minister said India had placed the world's largest order for Boeing and Airbus planes in 2005. "The growth rate of civil aviation is 50 per cent, the world's highest. If a plane is bought, it provides job to 10,000 people," he said.

Speaking after laying the foundation of a new integrated terminal, control tower and fire station, to be built at Rs100 crore at Aurangabad airport on Tuesday. He said cargo and customs facilities would be made available soon at Aurangabad airport.

Patel said decentralisation was necessary as the airports in metros had insufficient plane parking space. Accordingly the civil aviation ministry had planned the modernisation and upgradation of all airports in the 35 non-metros.

He also said that new airports would be started in Mumbai and Pune to avoid air traffic congestion.

I hope that's 10000 in India, and not in the countries making the plane!

But is it really 10K people per plane bought? That does seem kind of excessive to me, even considering all the ancillary industries that come up, but still Confused

10K people per plane??? Rolling Eyes
It seems too much unless they have included all the people who have worked to build that plane also...(guess even thats less)
But one thing for sure people that the more the investment the more the losses considering the current enviroment. That means even if one airline shuts down then its a tremendous loss.
PP should concentrate more on getting Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Dassault, etc to build their manufacturing plants. That'll be helpful
