NEW DELHI: An impending audit by the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in November has brought the focus of the civil aviation ministry back on airports owned and managed by defence forces.
The ministry wants these 25 airports, also called civil enclaves, to be managed according to ICAO standards and has asked Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to look into the issue.
"The defence minister assured the civil aviation ministry that he will look into the matter," said a civil aviation ministry official.
Civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapati Raju held a meeting at his office with the defence minister earlier this month to discuss the matter, the official said.
