New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is working on framing a comprehensive policy for the general aviation sector which may reduce by half the time required for issuing licenses to non-scheduled operators (NSOPs).
At present, both scheduled and nonscheduled operators have to meet the same guidelines for securing a flying licence. The proposed rules could result in NSOPs securing a flying licence in six months as compared to the year’s time required for the same currently.
A senior official in DGCA said, “NSOPs do not need to meet a lot of conditions to get a licence, which the scheduled operators have to, since they operate with less complex aircraft. We are trying to come up with a new CAR for them which would make it simpler for them to sustain operations.”
There are about 130 NSOPs in the country that are registered with the DGCA.
