trillion kilometers in 2017. By 2037, that will rise to 18.97 trillion kilometers, with about 40 % of
the increase happening within five intra-regional markets: China, India, North-America, Europe
and South-east Asia. That is sparking a battle over the biggest bottleneck holding back this
growth: airports. The governments that still own many of them should be more open to
privatization to cover a $ 78 billion funding gap in needed capital investments. Airlines,
Airport’s biggest customers, see things differently. Costs at privatized terminals are higher and
governments should be cautious about such actions in the interests of expanding the aviation
sector as a whole. Privatising an airport does not necessarily make it more efficient. A study has
found there was little difference between the performance of airports 100% owned by
commercially-oriented government corporations and those majority controlled by private
businesses. The key is instead to avoid structures where the incentives for managers are
confused or misaligned, such as where private companies are brought in as minority investors
or where managers are essentially bureaucrats swayed by political imperatives. There is a better
solution out there, but it is not likely to be very attractive to incumbent airlines, airports, or
passengers enamoured of the current generation of gleaming terminals: build more, cheaper
airports.

Q-11 What is the growth rate in aviation apart from the five intra-regional markets?

Options:-

1. 20 percent

2. 10 percent

3. 40 percent

4. 30 percent

Q-12 Why should the governments be open to privatization of airports?

Options:-

1. To limit the government control of aviation industry

2. Because there is a batter for growth

3. Because they own many Airports

4. For necessary capital

Q-13 Which of the following is the focal inference of the author in the passage?

Options:-

1. Growth of the aviation industry is distorted.

2. Airports are not an obstacle to the growth of aviation industry.
