New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre to have a relook on amendments made in the Aircraft Rules which bar pilots aged 65 years and above from flying private aircraft for non-commercial purposes.
"In these circumstances, we remit the matter back to the respondents (Centre and Director General of Civil Aviation) and for proper and thorough examination of the issue and take an informed decision," a bench of Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said.
The court's decision came on the petition of V A Joshi and other retired pilots, who had airline transport pilot licences (ATPL), of Indian Air Force challenging the amendments made in the Aircraft Rules, 1937.
The amendments in the Act barred pilots, who have attained the age of 65 years or more, from flying private aircrafts for non-commercial purposes.
