New Delhi, June 12: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has simplified and made it easier for Indian carriers to start a new international destination by limiting the checklist to just ten points.
Before approving Indian airline operators’ to a new international destination, the DGCA said in a statement that they perform an assessment of their level of preparedness.
“In order to further ease the process for grant of such permission the existing regulatory requirements have been comprehensively reviewed in consultation with all stakeholders and the current 33-point checklist has been rationalised and reduced to a 10-point checklist related to their preparedness for the intended operations, removing other generic and redundant provisions in the existing checklist,” it said.
“The objective of this rationalisation is to simplify and facilitate the process for Indian carriers to start a new international destination and would significantly reduce the documentation/compliances required to be submitted by the operators. This systemic reform comes at a time when the Indian carriers are poised to expand their international footprint,” the statement added.
