Govt not to replace VT registration code for Indian aircraft

New Delhi: Government today said it has decided not to replace VT as the international code of registration for Indian aircraft.
"An attempt was made with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and after evaluating all the options, it has been decided not to replace the existing mark VT as no other code which distinctly identifies with India is available," Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said while replying to a Lok Sabha query.
"All alphabets denoting India are already allotted to other countries, hence replacing VT with another code, which doesn't denote India is not worthwhile,"he added.
The Minister also clarified that the code VT doesnot stand for' Viceroy Territory or Victorian Territory.
