Mandatory of DGCA License for airports from July next




New Delhi: Airports in India would not be allowed to undertake flight operations from July next year if they are not licensed by aviation regulator DGCA by June-end.
The government has issued a notification to this effect, as the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) continued inspections and safety audit at airports across the country to grant licences to airport operators, including state-owned Airports Authority of India .
According to the notification, no person would operate scheduled air transport services to/from an aerodrome from June 30, 2011, unless it has been licensed by DGCA.
There are 63 airports, which are to be licensed, including 53 operated by AAI. The rest of them, including those in Delhi, Mumbai, Cochin, Bangalore and Hyderabad, are owned either by the private sector or joint ventures.
While DGCA has issued initial licences to 15 airports, it has inspected 14 more for issuance of licences. The regulator has so far received applications for licences from 15 airports while there are 23 more which are yet to submit such applications.
