New Delhi: With the domestic airlines not showing any keenness to avail the over Rs 700-crore GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system even after nearly 18 months of its official launch, the Government would now hold discussions with all stakeholders for its mandatory enabling.
Aviation regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has convened a consultation meeting with all stakeholders including airlines here tomorrow to discuss the issue.
GAGAN system, which is said to make airline operations more efficient and cut down costs as it reduces separation between aircraft, increase air safety and fuel efficiency, was officially launched by Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju in July last year.
The National Civil Aviation Policy, announced by the Government in June this year, makes it mandatory for all aircraft being registered in India from January 1, 2019 to be GAGAN enabled.
