PIL filed on chaos at Delhi airport

The Delhi airport privatisation plan has lost the takeoff plot as internal bickerings continue. The GMR-owned Delhi Airport International Private Limited (DIAPL) and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) continue to stay on different wavelengths resulting in confusion and chaos.
Amidst unprecedented situation obtaining at Delhi Airport, a public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court.
According to the PIL: “Flying into or out of Delhi has become a living nightmare for passengers, as it is an exasperating wait for them on the ground and in the air before flights get clearance from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) to land or takeoff. Delays have become a norm during morning and evening peak hours”.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has mounted pressure on the private entity to speed up with a view to provide immediate relief to the passengers. But, sadly, the situation has worsened instead of improving.
