New Delhi: The Centre has almost finalised the draft of the Bill seeking to separate Air Navigation Services (ANS) from the Airports Authority of India (AAI), seen as a precursor to listing the authority. A government source said: “The draft Bill is in its final stages. There are a few human resources issues that need to be taken care of. The ministry will send the draft Bill for Cabinet approval after getting a go-ahead from the law ministry.”
ANS, responsible for navigation, surveillance and air traffic management, is now under AAI. “The organisation that is being contemplated will be government-owned. The ministry is bringing in an Act,” said an AAI official.
Sources said Civil Aviation Secretary V Somasundaran will soon hold a meeting with AAI officials to finalise the provisions of the Bill. After consultations, the Bill will be sent to the Cabinet for approval and, subsequently, introduced in Parliament.
