"Soon after the bill is cleared by parliament, the regulator would be in place by October," said Srivastava.
The proposed authority would fix, review and approve tariff structure for the aviation services and monitor performance standards at Indian airports.

Srivastava added that the government would come up with a Vision Document 2020 for the aviation sector.
"It is before the group of ministers. They are taking a view to it. The vision document would deal with airport infrastructure, security, connectivity and other issues relating to reforms in the aviation sector," he said.
