Don't operate M'lore airport without licence renewal: HC

Bangalore: The High Court on Wednesday directed the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to inform it by Thursday the status of the application seeking renewal of licence of the Mangalore International Airport at Bajpe.
"Who has given permission for the airport to continue operations without renewal of licence? We will order for closure of the airport if it has no licence, rather than put lives of many people at risk," the division bench headed by Justice D V Shylendra Kumar observed. Hearing of the PIL in this regard filed by city advocate G R Mohan has been adjourned to Thursday.
The counsel for AAI informed the court that an application has been submitted to the DGCA seeking renewal of licence for the airport.
