Updated: 17 Jan, 2022

India needs to fly and not merely trot ahead to achieve the goals which the current political establishment has set for itself. The need for reforms has become more acute then ever before. The current issue of Legal Eye brings you an update on the privatisation of ‘Airports’ in India. The air transport system is an important contributor to the quality of life of the people and an essential part of the world business globalization.
