The civil aviation ministry on Thursday said the last date for receiving stakeholders' comments on the draft civil aviation policy has been extended to November 30, from the earlier deadline of November 21.
The draft civil aviation policy was released on October 30 and has been put in public domain to garner feedback and suggestions from all stakeholders before finalisation.
The policy is expected to be presented to the union cabinet for final approval after formal suggestions and feedback have been received.
The development assumes significance as the draft policy that has proposed certain changes like imposing a new cess and regulate minimum fare tariffs, has encountered stiff resistance from some quarters of the industry.
"We want to get formal suggestions and feedback from all the stakeholders before finalisation of the policy," Civil Aviation Secretary Rajeev Nayan Choubey recently said during a press briefing here on the draft civil aviation policy.
