Air transport is the fastest mode of transport to move from one place to another place. Air transport in India started in the year 1911 when 10 km long air mail service started in India between Allahabad to Naini.
Actual development of air transport in India started during post independence. In the year 1953, Air transport was nationalized in India. After nationalization, the air transport in India was controlled by two corporations – Air India and Indian Airlines.
At present, many private companies have also started providing Air transport services. Airports Authority of India is responsible for safe and efficient air travel and aeronautical communications. This Authority manages 126 airports, which include 13 international, 84 domestic and 29 civil aviation and inter regional airports
