Mumbai: The reduction of aircraft limit for international flying may augur well for Indian aviation as well as passengers, say industry experts.
Most of them believe that this decision will bring in more Indian carries on the international platform leading to more competition and better quality of service.
Last week, the civil aviation minister said that the aircraft requirement to allow international operations might be reduced from 20 aircraft to 10.
If the proposal is accepted, it will be a big boost to low-cost-carrier, GoAir, which has applied for a permit to fly international with a fleet of 10 aircraft.
LCCs like Indigo and Spice Jet have already started operating to destinations like Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai etc.
