New Delhi/Mumbai: In what may further delay AirAsia's launch in India, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked all persons likely to be affected by the grant of scheduled air operator's permit to the airline to submit their suggestions and objections to the regulator within a period of 30 days.
"In order to comply with the requirements of Schedule XI of Aircraft Rules 1937, a notice is hereby given to the public and all the persons likely to be affected by the grant of this permit to submit their objections or suggestions, if any, on the Statement of Intent (submitted by AirAsia), along with the particulars, as enclosed, within Thirty Days of the issue of this notice", DGCA stated in a notice issued on Monday (Jan 13, 2014).
The notice will delay the grant of AOP to AirAsia, which was earlier scheduled to receive its permit by end of January 2014. In an earlier interaction in December 2013, senior officials at DGCA had told Business Standard that the process of granting an AOP to AirAsia was "happening on a fast-track basis" and that the airline will receive its permit soon after a DGCA team certifies training facilities for crew in Malaysia in January.
