Bengaluru: A new civil aviation policy, which is on the anvil, will facilitate more airlines to connect metros and state capitals with more cities and towns across the country, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said on Sunday.
"We want more airlines to operate across the country, connecting more cities and towns, as air connectivity is crucial for rapid economic growth. Our new aviation policy will accelerate the sector's growth and connect as many cities and towns in Bharat," Raju said at a function in Bengaluru.
Admitting that running an airline was a tricky business and the aviation sector has gone through turbulent times, the minister said the new policy would encourage more investment in the sector, attract new players and enable the existing airlines expand their operations in the domestic and international routes.
