Now, business jet licences may be issued in half the time

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is working on a policy that may halve the time needed to issue licences to business and private jet owners.

Scheduled and non-scheduled air operators have to meet the same guidelines now for a flying licence. The new rules could grant permits to the latter in six months.

“Non-scheduled operators  do not need to meet a lot of conditions of scheduled operators because they operate less complex aircraft. We are trying to come up with new rules for them to make their operation simpler,” a senior DGCA official said. There are about 130 non-scheduled air operators registered with the DGCA.


Separately, to promote regional  and remote connectivity, the regulator has constituted a committee comprising representatives from the Business Aircraft Operators’ Association and DGCA officials to recommend ways to improve use of assets in the aviation sector.
