New Delhi : Favouring scrapping of the international flying norms for domestic airlines on the ground that its continuation would only result in more un-utilised bilateral, the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) welcomed the government’s decision to go for public consultations prior to finalising the new aviation policy.
At present, an Indian carriers is allowed to fly overseas only when it has completed five years of domestic operations and have a minimum of 20 aircraft fleet. “continuing 5/20 will increase the gap in India’s bilateral utilisation and hence, impact overall expansion of bilateral,” CAPA CEO for South Asia Kapil Kaul said.
