Regulator for aviation sector to be appointed by October: Govt

New Delhi: The government on Monday said it will appoint an independent regulator for the aviation sector by October this year.
"The regulator would be in place by October this year. The matter is already before Parliament," Joint Secretary in the Civil Aviation Ministry K N Srivastava told reporters.
The matter was presented to Parliament and was later referred to a standing committee, Srivastava said, adding that it would be discussed during the second half of the Budget session when the recommendations of the steering committee would be available.
After clearance from Parliament, it would take about three months to set up the regulator, he said. The regulator would look into aspects like aeronautical charges, user development fee, passenger fee and others, Srivastava said on the sidelines of the 'Aerodrome India 2008' seminar here.
