GVK welcomes aviation sector reforms

Reacting to the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman 's announcement on boosting the country's aviation sector, GVK Reddy, Founder & Chairman, GVK, welcomed the proposals to strengthen the civil aviation sector.

“We welcome the announcements made by the government today in the Civil Aviation sector. The move to invite Public Private Partnership in six more airports will provide the Airport Authority of India resources to develop smaller airports across the country and popularise the government’s Udaan scheme," he said.

I am sure that the government under Prime Minister Modi’s dynamic leadership, will take many more steps in the coming days to get our economy back on rails post the Covid-19 crisis,” Reddy further said.
