New Delhi: In the wake of complaints of red-tape and delays, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has come up with specific timelines and fee structure for its services like issuing of flying permits, airworthiness certificates, aircraft import or even clearance of flight schedules.
The Proposed Tata-SIA Airline is likely to benefit from a timeline of six months that has been fixed for issuing of an air operator's permit (AOP or flying licence) after a carrier gets a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Civil Aviation Ministry. Tata-SIA got the NOC on April 2.
DGCA sources said the grant of AOP was subject to condition that the applicant met all requirements and acquires desired capabilities to operate air transport services.
Apart from AOP, the aviation regulator provides various other services to airlines, airports, other related bodies, apart from individual pilots or cabin crew.
So far, there were no timelines for the grant of many of these services and there were complaints of delays and red-tape from several quarters.
