New Delhi: One of the key challenges for Indian aviation is the
development of airport infrastructure which should not be subject to
strict economic regulation in every case, Airports Council International
(ACI) director general Angela Gittens told newspersons after
interacting with senior aviation sector officials in New Delhi.
ACI has offered its support to India’s attempts to further develop its airport infrastructure and find the right regulatory framework. “Other countries have faced this dilemma and we will provide examples for the government to explore. India should be one of the three largest aviation markets in the world. ACI wants to see India take its rightful place in the aviation world,” Ms. Gittens said when asked about the interactions with Ministry of Civil Aviation officials.
In this regard, ACI discussed with Government officials the need for India to have the right economic regulatory framework in place to encourage the development of this much needed infrastructure. “The world is recognising that airports are businesses in their own right as they vie to gain air services for their communities. As such, the need for regulating every aspect is now outmoded and regulators tend to focus more on service quality rather than strict price,” added Ms. Gittens.
