The conference agenda, jointly developed by the ministry of civil aviation and FICCI, will address the key challenges confronting the sector and promote an open dialogue among industry thought-leaders to innovate practical, sustainable solutions to boost growth of civil aviation in India. It would also highlight the emerging investment opportunities in the Indian aerospace manufacturing market.
