"Of late there have been changes in the strategy of private airline operators by way of consolidation of their operations.....these conditions can lead to a monopolistic situation in the civil aviaton sector and there is a need to check this trend," the Committee on Tourism, Culture and Transport, chaired by Rajya Sabha MP Sitaram Yechury, said in its report tabled in the Parliament.
The committee said, while formulating the new civil aviation policy, all consequences of mergers of airlines, including the matter of reallocation of infrastructural facilities at airports should be addressed properly.
