International flights from military-owned airports such as those in Goa, Pune and Srinagar may stop beyond December, as global rules require these airports to be licensed by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for international flights to continue.
The DGCA and the aviation ministry have written to the defence ministry, asking it to allow the civil aviation regulator to licence these airports or international flights may stop to these cities. However, the military has always resisted any move to get these airports licensed by the civil aviation regulator, as it does not want to allow civilians to its sensitive installations inside the airport.
