The growth of aviation in emerging economies has been unexpected. It has not only increased world trade activity by enabling faster and easier movement of passengers and goods, but has also provided jobs to millions of people. Presently, the global aviation industry is on a high-growth trajectory, ushering in an era of rapid expansion. To celebrate and focus on the challenges of ‘Flying for All’, especially the next 6 billion people, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, is organizing for the first time the Global Aviation Summit in Mumbai, the financial capital of India, on 15-16 January, 2019.
