New Delhi/Chennai: The draft civil aviation policy received mixed response from the industry with most of the airlines describing it as 'progressive' even as lack of clarity on the fate of 5/20 norm came under criticism from some quarters.
Describing the revised draft policy released by the government as 'pretty progressive', SpiceJet CMD Ajay Singh said the focus on regional connectivity is good for domestic aviation sector.
Some procedural problems are also being addressed, he added. IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh said the policy is broadly progressive and setting of low cost airports would help bring more cost efficiency in the aviation sector.
AirAsia India CEO and managing director Mittu Chandilya said it was surprising to see the lack of clarity and progress on 5/20 norm. On the draft policy, he said it was a good beginning as the suggestions made in the policy look positive for passengers and aviation sector as a whole.
