The Civil Aviation Ministry has prepared a White Paper for preparation of a policy for sustainable and orderly growth of the sector, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.
"The ministry has felt the need to spell out a long-term civil aviation policy addressing various issues related to the sector," Minister of State for Civil Aviation K C Venugopal told the House.
Accordingly, a consultation paper was prepared and placed on the ministry website inviting comments of stakeholders. Based on the comments received from the stakeholders, a White Paper on new civil aviation policy has been prepared, he said.
"Five sub-groups have been formed to finalise the suggestions in the White Paper before finalising the National Civil Aviation Policy. However, there is no proposal to put this policy on 100 days agenda," Venugopal said.
