Parliamentary Committee on Public Sector Undertakings has recommended changing the Gaya airport code to 'GAT' from 'GAY'. For a city of religious significance, alternative names like 'YAG' (Yag) have also been suggested. The panel requested that the government take up this issue with the International Air Transport Association and other concerned organizations since the issue involves the inappropriate naming of an airport.
