New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA has begun examining start-up carrier AirAsia India's application for a flying permit after rejecting the objections it received from various quarters, including BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation had set up a three-member committee to examine the objections raised against the proposal to grant Air Operators Permit (AOP) or flying licence to the no-frill airline launched by Malaysian carrier AirAsia, Tata Sons and Telstra Tradeplace.
The Committee, after going through the objections and their legal aspects, concluded that it found "no reasons to put on hold the processing of the application of M/s Air Asia (India) Pvt Ltd for issuance of Air Operator Permit (Sked), based on the above".
In an order, DGCA chief Prabhat Kumar said "in view of the above, it is decided to consider the application of M/s. Air Asia (India) Pvt Ltd, for issuance of Air Operator's Permit subject to compliance of various requirements" under the law and procedures.
Without giving any time-frame of when the airline would get the permit, official sources said the process of examining AirAsia India's application has since been started.
