Privatisation will strengthen the civil aviation sector and help in its expansion, Union Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said.

"This sector provides opportunities for not just players within the country but outside. We are currently in the process of privatisation programme for our flight carriers," he said.

"Privatisation will strengthen the aviation sector and will contribute in its expansion both in short and medium term," Puri said at the curtain raiser event in New Delhi for the upcoming WINGS INDIA 2020, the country's latest edition of civil aviation exhibition to be held in Hyderabad in March.
