The government says there is no rule that prevents airport companies from having or operating airlines. Civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu makes the statement while responding to questions about whether such arrangements would be allowed under existing policy or regulations.
Naidu says the government is still weighing the potential pros and cons of allowing airport operators to run airlines. He indicates that no final decision has been taken yet, suggesting that any policy outcome is not settled and could depend on further assessment and consideration of implications for the aviation sector.
The reporting focuses on the minister’s position that current rules do not block the idea, while emphasizing that the government has not concluded its review. With only limited details reported across the sources, the immediate point of agreement is that the matter remains under consideration rather than being decided, implemented, or ruled out at this stage.
