Uncertainty looms large over the expected key civil aviation policies and decisions of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.
The sector is waiting for the government to take decisive steps on aviation policy, new flying abroad rules and route dispersal guidelines.
The draft rule for airlines to fly abroad, scrapping the incumbent 5/20 rule, was unanimously opposed by sector players. At present, airlines need five years of flying experience, along with at least 20 aircraft, to fly to international destinations. The government decided to replace it with a credit-based system, linked with route dispersal guidelines. After sending the proposal for inter-ministerial consultation, the government reportedly formed a committee to look into the ministry's proposals.
