DGCA disposes objections against Tata-AirAsia deal

New Delhi:  Get ready for low fares again. The government on Friday gave the final clearance to Tata Sons-AirAsia JV for a low cost airline. The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) Friday disposed off the objections raised against the proposed low cost carrier filed by other Indian airlines and some politicians too.
"AirAsia India is yet to complete all formalities, so we did not issue the schedule air operator permit (AOP) along with disposing the objections. Their application for consideration of issuing the AOP has been held valid and the same will be issued as soon as they meet all procedural requirements," said an official.
