Nils Heuer, Sales Director of Deutsche Aircraft, in conversation with Indian Aerospace & Defence at Aero India 2025

India’s aviation sector has witnessed a dramatic transformation over the past three decades, evolving from a luxury-dominated market to the world’s third-largest domestic aviation landscape, driven by affordability and accessibility. With rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and government initiatives like UDAN, regional connectivity has become a focal point, supported by significant infrastructure expansion and the rise of low-cost carriers. Aircraft like the D328eco, designed for efficiency and short-haul operations, are poised to play a pivotal role in meeting the growing demand for air travel in underserved regions, ensuring sustainable growth and enhanced connectivity across the nation.
