Delhi, Chennai to get aviation hubs

To turn India into an aviation hub by expanding regional and international connectivity, a high level meeting on infrastructure chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today decided to operationalise airline hubs at Delhi and Chennai by the next fiscal.
An airline policy would be finalised in this regard, it was decided in the meeting.
The policy has been formulated because of fear of loss of outbound air traffic from India to adjoining airports such as Dubai and Singapore.
Under the policy, a series of steps are entailed which include improvement of connectivity and making visa processing easier so that more passengers fly from India to destinations in Europe and America.
