Delhi-based MSD Aviation gets no-objection certificate to launch cargo airline

New Delhi:  After providing initial approvals to six airlines to operate national and regional passenger services since coming to power in May, the new government has issued a no-objection certificate to a Delhi-based company, MSD Aviation Pvt Ltd, to launch a cargo carrier.

"The airline will now have to apply to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for a permit," a senior civil aviation ministry official said. Getting an NOC is the first step towards launching flight operations. MSD Aviation now has to apply to the aviation regulator for an air operator's permit, complete all necessary requirements and satisfy the DGCA of its capability to operate.
The company is in the business of leasing flight crew internationally, according to information on its website. An executive at the company said it could share its plans only after getting a formal approval letter from the ministry.
