New Delhi: India's new civil aviation policy will likely be delayed for the third time in the past few months to around mid-March this year, Business Standard has learnt from official sources.
This is because the civil aviation ministry is yet to complete its own consultations on the policy, and before any official declaration of the broad policy guidelines, it would also need Cabinet approval on several issues like the proposed listing of Airports Authority of India (AAI) and spinning off Air Navigation Services as a new corporate entity.
At this point, various stakeholders such as airlines have not even arrived at a consensus on key issues like the removal or dilution of the contentious 5/20 rule, a senior aviation ministry official told BS.
Other areas of deliberations among stakeholders such as private sector airport operators, airlines, and the government, include the new route dispersal guidelines (RDGs), and the proposal to create six airports as metro hubs.
