From what I found --
| Quote: |
government was open to reviewing the five-year domestic criterial for allowing airlines to launch international services.
He also indicated that the protection available to Indian Airlines and Air-India in the Gulf market might be scrapped by allowing Jet Airways to enter this segment by the beginning of 2008.
The civil aviation ministry has forwarded a comprehensive civil aviation policy to the Union Cabinet, Mr Patel said.
The much-awaited policy, pending for years, has been renamed as Vision 2020 and it deals with Indian avaition sector requirements upto 2020 and beyond. |

| Quote: |
We are coming out with a Vision 2020 statement for aviation, which we will spell out in a couple of months, and a lot of issues, and issues not resolved, will be cleared," Patel said, adding it would help Indian carriers meet competition from foreign airlines.
"It is not going to be a standard mechanical formula ... of course, there will be certain guidelines and we will be doing all these things in a few months."
Patel also said he would talk to the oil minister and state-run oil companies about high jet fuel prices.
"We want some kind of a rationalisation (of prices). If there is no support, we will look into various ways including looking at allowing imports to carriers or allowing us to hedge," he said.
Indian carriers are allowed to hedge fuel for international flights but not for domestic operations. |

The most important thing required right now is the setting up of a Regulatory Authority for Aviation, like TRAI for telecom.
That Pee Pee wont do! Because the only way he can continue to sell his influence and make some money is if he can regulate policy and the competition in favor of one party: which is basically what he has been doing.
in the beginning of his tenure, it was Jet that benefitted and now Jet i sout, and KF is in! Either way, the other carriers (most natbly DN) are losing out!
Vision 2020 has no meaning without a Regulatory Authority as there can be no growth in the sector without one!

Also it adresses policies and aviation requirements which is pretty much irrelevant as private players are likely to place orders on their own terms and pockets, sadly though it does not adress Infrastructure concerns which is completely the governments responsibility.
