New Delhi: The proposed civil aviation policy is asking for private participation for modernising more airports. The Government wants to revive 400 airfields in the country under the ownership of the Airports Authority of India (AAI), Ministry of Defence and various state governments.
Currently, no greenfield airport is allowed within an aerial distance of 150 kms of an existing airport. The policy proposes to relax this restriction to encourage development of more airports. The Ministry also wants multiple airports in metropolitan regions to meet requirements of different areas.
The policy also proposes restructuring the activities of AAI. AAI will be hived off into five subsidiaries separately handling consultancy, architectural, construction, cargo and ground handling services.
