Mumbai: Association of Private Airport Operators (APAO) has opposed the
civil aviation ministry's draft regional connectivity policy arguing
that destinations included in the proposal lack traffic potential and
incentives offered to airlines to launch services are not enough to
cover their cost.
The ministry has invited views from industry stake holders on a proposed policy to boost regional connectivity. However both airlines and private airports are opposed to the current proposal. APAO includes GVK and GMR group run airports (Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi and Hyderabad) and Kochi.
In its letter to the ministry APAO has said only ten of the 87 destinations listed in the proposal have a traffic of 70 or more passengers each day to/from Delhi while the rest "do not have the ability to support or augment scheduled carriers existing air service network."
