The country added 80 aircraft in 2025, the minister said, adding that adding 100 aircraft is going to be a stable number for the next 15 years. "I would like to share the fact that 80 new planes have come in the year 2025 which we have just finished. And our expectation for this year is 106 planes that are going to come in this next year. This 100 is going to be a stable number for the next 10 to 15 years. That is the kind of order India is having today," Naidu said. "The year 2026 is going to be a very good year for Indian civil aviation," he added. "This (civil aviation) is going to be a continuously growing sector for the next 10 to 20 years. What we are trying to do on behalf of the ministry of civil aviation (MoCA) or the central government is to cater for that demand, create the infrastructure that is needed, create the skilling and training that is needed and create the right policy making that is needed that India is no longer seen as a strong domestic aviation market but as a global aviation market," the aviation minister said. Speaking about the number of airports that are being operationalised,Naidu said, "Every 45 to 50 days we are having one airport launch.
