New Delhi: In a bid to make general aviation viable, government has decided to review various rules governing air charters and non-scheduled operations and take steps to improve infrastructure and other facilities keeping their interests in mind.
The decision was taken at a recent meeting which Civil Aviation Secretary Ashok Lavasa and other top officials had with business aviation operators here.
The meeting on Monday came in the backdrop of aviation regulator DGCA considering allowing non-scheduled air operators (NSOPs) and air charter firms to convert to scheduled operators to fly on routes not touched by the existing scheduled airlines, in order to promote air travel to unconnected destinations.
"It was a very good meeting and the authorities were very positive about the issues we raised," Rohit Kapur, President of Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA), told PTI after the meeting.
