Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Shri K. C. Venugopal informed Rajya Sabha today that a long term Civil Aviation Policy was needed to have a sustainable, orderly growth of the aviation sector. Accordingly, a consultation paper was prepared and placed on the website of the Ministry inviting comments of stakeholders. Based on the comments received from all the stakeholders, a White paper on New Civil Aviation Policy has been prepared. Five Sub Groups have been formed to finalize the suggestions in the White Paper before finalizing the National Civil Aviation Policy. However, there is no proposal to put this policy on 100 days agenda.
