PM Modi to speed up privatisation of airports, to boost efficiency in air travel
NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the civil aviation ministry to expedite privatisation of six more airports by starting the tendering process in three months after a review of policies to make the sector more efficient.
The move is aimed at making airports more efficient and at the same time earn revenue for the exchequer. An official statement said that Modi reviewed strategies to make the aviation industry more efficient at the meeting, where it was also decided to use the Indian airspace more effectively to reduce flying time.
This, the statement said, would be done in co-operation with the military affairs department and would benefit the traveling public and the airlines to save costs.
