Kolhapur: The licence of the Kolhapur airport, which had been suspended by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after some objections were raised, is likely to be reinstated by next week, said Samir Seth, an airport advisory committee member, on Saturday.
He added that there were a few objections that had been raised by the DGCA earlier last month regarding the runway, air-traffic control and some obstructions in the area.
The prescribed norms have now been complied with and it is likely that the licence will be reinstated in the coming week.
Seth also said that after cancelling the Air Deccan service on the Kolhapur-Mumbai route, the same route will be now be available for other airlines. “As per our preliminary knowledge, Alliance air, Air Indigo and SpiceJet are likely to operate the flights on that route. We have suggested other routes to the airlines as well. The other routes like Kolhapur-Goa, Kolhapur-Ahmedabad are on the list. These will need confirmation from the airlines first, as they will do the survey and other formalities for the same,” he said.
