UPSC 2003: Which one of the following statements is correct?
(a)Alliance Air is a wholly owned subsidiary of Indian Airlines
(b)The Airports Authority of India manages seven of the country's international airports
(c)The Airports Authority of India is the regulatory organisation for enforcing civil air regulations in India
(d)It is the function of Directorate General of Civil Aviation to plan and construct runways and terminal buildings and to provide air safety services
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Alliance Air is a wholly owned subsidiary of Indian Airlines
Alliance Air was set up in 1996 as a 100 %-owned subsidiary of Indian Airlines, making option (a) correct. Airports Authority of India (AAI) actually operates more than seven international airports and is not the civil-aviation regulator; that role is performed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. DGCA, in turn, regulates safety and licensing but does not build airports or runways—those tasks fall to AAI—so the other three statements are incorrect.
