New Delhi: In an attempt to make it easier for airlines that fly regional routes, the government is likely to allow them to fly for two years with just one aircraft.
This will be part of aviation rules being formulated for scheduled commercial airlines — carriers that will also operate on regional routes under the government's regional connectivity plans that aim at flying on such routes at the rate of Rs 2,500 per hour of flight.
"Unlike rules for regional and national airlines, which have to increase their fleet size to three and five aircraft, respectively, within a period of one year, the scheduled commuter airlines will be allowed two years to increase their fleet size. The extra one year will provide that comfort level to these new airlines," said an aviation ministry official, who did not want to be identified.
These rules are being formulated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation as part of the rules that will govern scheduled commuters airlines. The government, in June this year, had approved a regional connectivity scheme that aims to connect unserved airports in the country through flights with fixed fares atRs 2,500 for per hour of flight.
Analysts believe that the government needs to also work on ensuring lower lease rentals for scheduled commuter airlines.
