Govt looks to ease rules for operating flights


New Delhi, Oct. 16:  
Scheduled airline operators such as Jet Airways and Air India as also operators of private aircraft will soon be able to take to the skies faster. This follows the Government looking to drastically cut the amount of time required to give clearance for both categories of operators to fly.
The revised proposal is to take just one day instead of three for giving clearance for a scheduled airline and three days instead of a week to give the nod for a private aircraft operator to take flight.
“The move will allow people to dynamically change their routes. Besides, it will allow airlines to change routes and deploy or remove capacity,” said Ankur Bhatia, Member, CII’s National Committee on Aviation and Managing Director, Amadeus India.
“Aviation is all about speed and anything which helps get the aircraft into the skies faster will be a welcome move,” said Capt. Karan Singh, Managing Director, Business Aircraft Operator’s Association.
