Stressing the importance of AI and Big Data, Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu stressed the need to leverage these modern technologies to improve the global flying ecosystem.
Inaugurating the first-ever Global Aviation Summit (GAS) 2019, Prabhu said that the sustainability of the aviation sector is also important and we must ensure that our flying practices remain ‘planet-friendly’.
He added that the Indian aviation sector has apparently been growing at the rate of 20 percent for the last four years, supposedly the highest in the world. Prabhu pointed out that the government has already announced a Drone Policy and will now launch a road-map for aircraft manufacturing in the country.
