SC questions govt on airport ground handling policy
April 4th, 2011 - 7:16 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Apr 4 (ANI): The Supreme Court today sought the government’s stand on a plea challenging its ground handling policy at metro and some other airports.
The Centre had forbid private airlines from doing the job and asking them to hand it over to government-approved agencies for security concerns.
Issuing notices to the Civil Aviation Ministry, Directorate General of Civil Aviation and others on a petition by a private airlines federation, Justices R V Raveendran and A K Patnaik sought a response within two weeks and adjourned the matter till April 25.
The bench issued notices on the petition challenging the Delhi High Court’s March 4 ruling, upholding the government’s new ground handling policy.
While issuing the notices, the bench declined to stay the high court’s order and asked various private airlines to enter into an agreement with firms for outsourcing ground handling duties. (ANI)
