Ministry to propose scrapping of 150-km clause for airports

New Delhi: The civil aviation ministry is set to propose to the new government led by Narendra Modi to do away with the policy of not having an airport within 150 km of an existing airport as part of its plan to set right the wrongs of the UPA regime.
The process is part of an exercise wherein all the ministries have been asked by the cabinet secretariat to make presentations listing out their priorities, as also the policies they think have gone wrong
in the past.
“Not allowing airports to run within 150 km of an existing airport is certainly an erroneous policy which needs to be reviewed,” said a senior civil aviation ministry official in the know of the developments. This will be part of the civil aviation ministry's presentation that it will be making before Modi.
