New Delhi: Government is actively considering revising the 5-20 rule to allow Indian carriers to fly abroad and the Route Dispersal Guidelines (RDGs), which make it mandatory for them to operate to remote parts of the country like the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir.
"The revision of the existing 5/20 rule as well as RDGs is under active consideration of the Government. Stakeholders including Federation of Indian Airlines have sent their views on both proposals, which are being examined," Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said during Question Hour in Rajya Sabha.
Stating that RDGs were aimed at increasing air connectivity, he said these were required due to the fact that no plane took off or landed in as many as 31 airports during the last one year.
