Delhi High Court seeks Centre's response on Delhi Airport's plea against commercial flights from Hindon

This article discusses the Delhi High Court's notice to the Central government regarding a plea by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) against commercial flights from Hindon Airbase. DIAL, the operator of Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), argues that allowing commercial operations at Hindon violates aviation regulations and could negatively impact IGIA's financial stability. Hindon Airport, primarily a military airbase, has been opened for civilian use under the government's Regional Connectivity Scheme. Air India Express has already commenced operations from Hindon, offering flights to several destinations. The court has directed the government to respond to DIAL's plea within three weeks, with further consideration scheduled for April 28. The court did not pass any interim order restraining operations at Hindon.
