India framing policy to make airports transit hubs for South Asia
New Delhi: India is framing a national policy to transform its airports into major international hubs that will offer single-point international connectivity to the South Asian region.
The policy, which will need cabinet approval, aims to frame laws for easing security and immigration bottlenecks at airports, allocation of international flying rights and building necessary infrastructure so that airports like Delhi can become transit hubs competing with the likes of Dubai and Singapore’s Changi Airport, people involved in making of the policy said.
