  Aircraft manufacturing relies on pre-order bookings. The configuration of the
to be assembled aircraft is fixed by the design assisted market surveys. The
sensitivity of the supply chain to the market conditions, makes, the
relationship between the product (aircraft) and the associated service
(aviation), precarious. Traditional model to mitigate this risk to
profitability rely on increasing the scales of operations. However, the
emergence of new standards of air quality monitoring and insistence on the
implementation, demands additional corrective measures. In the quest for a
solution, this research commentary establishes a link, between the airport
taxes and the nature of the transporting unit. It warns, that merely,
increasing the number of mid haulage range aircrafts (MHA) in the fleet, may
not be enough, to overcome this challenge. In a two-pronged approach, the
communication proposes, the use of mostly electric assisted air planes, and
small sized airports as the key to solving this complex problem. As a side-note
the appropriateness of South Asian region, as a test-bed for MEAP based
aircrafts is also investigated. The success of this the idea can be potentially
extended, to any other aviation friendly region of the world.
