Air India Ltd. has opposed the proposal of the Ministry of Civil
Aviation (MoCA), Government of India to abolish the five-year,
20-aircraft eligibility norm for domestic carriers planning to operate
on international routes.
"We believe that the eligibility norms should not be completely abolished. You can bring down from the current five years and 20 aircraft, but they should not be abolished. Any airline that flies international should be required to prove it in the domestic skies first," said a senior Air India executive, as per a report by Mihir Mishra in The Economic Times.
Air India's view has been conveyed verbally to the Ministry, the executive said.
At present, domestic carriers need to be in operation for at least five years and have a fleet of minimum 20 aircraft to be eligible to fly on global routes.
