No airport in India would be able to undertake any flight operation from July next year if it is not licensed by the aviation regulator DGCA by June-end. A notification to this effect has been issued by the government.The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) continued inspections and safety audit at airports across the country to grant licenses to airport operators, including state-owned Airports Authority of India. Therefore, an aerodrome which has not been licensed can continue to operate without obtaining the license up to June 30 next year as per this legal provision. According to an official release, there are 63 airports which are to be licensed, including 53 operated by the AAI. The rest of them, including those in Delhi, Mumbai, Cochin, Bangalore and Hyderabad, are owned either by the private sector or joint ventures.
