Madras HC directs DGCA to form panel to resolve issues stalling introduction of international courier service at Trichy airport

Madurai:  The Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Monday directed the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to constitute a committee to look into issues between the customs department and the Airport Authority of India that have stalled implementation of international courier service at the Trichy airport.
A division bench of Justice K K Sasidharan and Justice G R Swaminathan issued the direction in response to a petition filed by an association of courier operators.
The court had earlier summoned the customs commissioner and the Trichy airport director after the authorities had failed to implement a central government notification on international courier services at the airport.
While the airport officials submitted that they had provided all necessary infrastructure, customs officials claimed otherwise.
In July 2013, the finance ministry gave its nod for the launch of international courier operations at Trichy airport.
The association filed a petition before the Madurai bench in November 2017 since there were no visible efforts to implement the service.
