Civil aviation ministry to organise flying for all conclave on Feb 27
More than 30 industry leaders will discuss and deliberate across five-key sessions issues such as the drone-ecosystem policy roadmap, roadmap for manufacturing aircraft and associated equipment including regional transport aircraft in India, the Project Rupee Raftaar- aircraft financing and leasing from India, the National Air Cargo Policy, and the mission to transform Indian Airports into Next-Gen Aviation Hubs.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation Tuesday said it is organising a conclave here on February 27 on the theme -- 'flying for all' -- where more than 200 delegates including industry leaders and regulators will deliberate on issues and opportunities in the sector. "This Conclave (the Aviation Conclave 2019) is about the future of Indian aviation -- bringing together industry leaders, government and regulators for setting the tone and propelling us to realize our Vision-2040," Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu said Tuesday.
He added that realizing the "government's vision of making 'flying for all' a reality underpins the government's commitment to bring about a veritable revolution in the Indian aviation sector".
