New Delhi: With more private players keen to enter the airport arena, the Government may allow new cargo airports to come up within a 150 km radius of an existing airport through the automatic route.
At the moment, the Government policy does not allow any airport to come up within a 150 km of an existing airport. However, the thinking in the Government seems to be that any greenfield cargo airport project presented to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after obtaining all clearances from the other authorities should be given the nod.
While details of the report have not been made public yet, official sources said that the proposal for automatic clearance for greenfield cargo airport could be cleared by the Union Cabinet shortly. The acceptance of the proposal would see a new category of airports being created in the country as at the moment airports are categorised as civil or defence airports.
