New Delhi: India is considering becoming a party to the proposed 'open sky' regime being evolved by the
ASEAN nations to enhance air connectivity with the region, Civil Aviation Secretary Ajay Prasad said.
"There has been no formal offer made to us by the ASEAN as yet. However, some informal discussions have taken place and we are considering becoming a party", he said on the sidelines of the Indo-US Economic Summit.
An 'open sky' regime would mean allowing any number of flights, frequencies and size of aircraft to any destination in the region. It would be a boon for Indian carriers if India's desire to join the proposed regime fructifies.
Responding to questions, Prasad said such a regime would be first introduced among the ASEAN nations and could later be opened to other nations in a phased manner.
