India's regional aviation needs broad policy tailwinds, says ATR chief
Mint 2 hrs ago·4 Sept 2026, 12:30 am
ATR’s chief executive, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, has called for a comprehensive overhaul of India's aviation policies to support regional connectivity. She argues that while the Udan scheme has been a success, it is not enough to make regional airlines financially viable on its own.
For investors, this highlights the broader structural challenges facing the sector. The high costs of operating in smaller markets and the need for extensive infrastructure remain significant hurdles. These factors can limit the profitability of regional carriers and affect the overall growth of the Indian aviation ecosystem.
Investors should watch for upcoming policy announcements from the government. Any measures that address infrastructure bottlenecks or reduce operational costs could boost the sector's long-term prospects.
