New Delhi: The Civil Aviation Ministry has started working overtime to formulate a new policy to cater to the latest concerns of the aviation industry, especially issues relating to its sustainability like jet fuel pricing, infrastructure, airfare pricing, safety and security.
A meeting of major stakeholders and senior Ministry officials was held on Friday to list the entire gamut of issues, elicit the views of the industry and service providers and work out a consensus on the new Civil Aviation Policy, official sources said.
