GoAir seeks reversal of govt norm on flying overseas

Bangalore: CEO of the Wadia Group-owned budget carrier Go Airlines (India) Ltd, which operates services under the brand GoAir, Giorgio De Roni, today sought the reversal of the government norm of allowing only domestic carriers with a minimum fleet of 20 aircrafts to fly overseas.
"India allows foreign airlines with one or two aircrafts to operate international flights to India but does not allow Indian carriers to fly international", he told a press conference here.
Allowing Indian carriers to fly overseas (by waiving this norm) would see "foreign currency coming to India, foreign tourists coming to India and additional employment", De Roni said.
Besides a fleet of 20 aircrafts, Indian carriers must complete five years of operations to be eligible to fly overseas.
