New Delhi: The wait for a new regional air connectivity policy has gotten longer, with doubts arising on whether it will be ready by the next elections. A new policy was expected to heed to the long standing demands of private airlines to do away with the Route Disbursal Guidelines (RDG).
"The ministry is in the process of formulating a policy on regional connectivity," civil aviation ministry's secretary KN Srivastava said in the meeting with airlines held in September. The minutes of the meeting were reviewed by ET. "The airlines should submit their views and plans to the ministry so that the same could be suitably incorporated in the policy."
The next quarterly meeting of the ministry and the airlines is expected to be held in the second week of December.
