A Parliamentary Committee has asked the government to make rules to penalise those airlines which were not operating 10 per cent of their capacity to socially important but commercially enviable routes like the Northeast. The recommendation of the Committee on Public Undertakings came in the wake of reports that the state-run Air India was facing a disadvantage as profitable routes in both domestic and international sectors were being allocated to private carriers. The Committee sought amendments to the Route Dispersal Guidelines to ensure strict compliance by all scheduled airlines to mandatorily operate 10 per cent of their flights to such sectors. Our correspondent reports the Committee asked the Civil Aviation Ministry to conduct a transparent review of the entire route and slot allocations in domestic and international sectors.
