Govt curtailing role of Airport regulator: Cong

New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday accused the Government of weakening the airport regulator instead of strengthening it, which would result in aviation becoming a costly affair. Initiating discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (Amendment) Bill, 2019, Vivek Tankha of the Congress said,’’ while other countries are trying to strengthen the regulators, this government is curtailing them. By taking away a regulator, you are opening the airports to private operators .’’
 Noting that the Bill reduced the number of ‘major airport’ to 13, Mr Tankha expressed fear that aviation would be a costly affair now since most small airports are managed by private players . ‘’It is a Bill which will enter into the pockets of 344 million people who travel by air.,’’Tankha said.
