New Delhi: Government today gave one week's more time to domestic carriers to file their submission on its proposed new norms for international operations and revision of route dispersal guideline (RDG).
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Indian airlines called by the government here today.
"The airlines sought some more time to file their response to the issue at the meeting. They have been given time for one more week to do so," a ministry official said.
The meeting was attended by all seven domestic carriers - Air India, Jet Airways, GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet, AirAsia India and Vistara.
Recently, the government had proposed to replace the 5/20 rule which makes it mandatory for airlines to have five years of domestic operations and a 20 aircraft fleet to become eligible for flying international.
Besides, it had also proposed to revise the RDG which makes it compulsory for domestic airlines to deploy a certain percentage of their capacity in under-served areas in the North East, J&K and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
