Aircraft manufacturing relies on pre-order bookings. The configuration of the\nto be assembled aircraft is fixed by the design assisted market surveys. The\nsensitivity of the supply chain to the market conditions, makes, the\nrelationship between the product (aircraft) and the associated service\n(aviation), precarious. Traditional model to mitigate this risk to\nprofitability rely on increasing the scales of operations. However, the\nemergence of new standards of air quality monitoring and insistence on the\nimplementation, demands additional corrective measures. In the quest for a\nsolution, this research commentary establishes a link, between the airport\ntaxes and the nature of the transporting unit. It warns, that merely,\nincreasing the number of mid haulage range aircrafts (MHA) in the fleet, may\nnot be enough, to overcome this challenge. In a two-pronged approach, the\ncommunication proposes, the use of mostly electric assisted air planes, and\nsmall sized airports as the key to solving this complex problem. As a side-note\nthe appropriateness of South Asian region, as a test-bed for MEAP based\naircrafts is also investigated. The success of this the idea can be potentially\nextended, to any other aviation friendly region of the world.\n
