The Civil Aviation Ministry on Wednesday extended the deadline for submission of stakeholders response to its draft Civil Aviation Policy by more than a week.
The Ministry had earlier given time for receiving response from stakeholders on the draft policy till November 21.
"The Ministry of Civil Aviation has extended the last date for receiving response from stakeholders on the draft Civil Aviation Policy to November 30," an official release said on Wednesday.
The revised draft Civil Aviation Policy was unveiled on October 30 by Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju to provide a conducive environment and a level playing field to all stakeholders.
Private carriers, under the banner of Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), however, had reportedly sought more time to state their views on the grounds that deadline was "too short" and more time was required because the proposals under the draft policy were "far reaching ramifications on the sector."
Jet Airways, SpiceJet and GoAir are the members of FIA. Two new airline - AirAsia India and Vistara-have not yet been given its membership.
