Civil aviation sector of India was poised to soar new heights in the coming years as the country had the potential to become the aviation hub of Asia-Pacific region, Central Civil aviation secretary M Madhavan Nambiar said here today.

Now only two per cent of Indians depend on flights for their domesitc and international travel. This was bound to increase significantly in the coming years with more airports being built and more airlines entering the sector, Nambiar said during a face-to-face organised by the North Malabar Chamber of Commerce here.

He said there was no cause for worry about delay in construction of the Kannur airport. The Centre had given clearance for the proposal in 2008. With the state government completing finalisation of land and bidding for partner, the process would gain momentum, Nambiar said.
