PM sees aviation policy, old airlines against 5/20 removal

New Delhi: Even as the aviation ministry made a presentation on the upcoming aviation policy to PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday that proposes to relax norms for Indian carriers to fly abroad, India's old airlines have decided to raise this issue directly with the PM. The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) — a platform of IndiGo, Jet, SpiceJet and GoAir — wrote to the PM on Tuesday, opposing the proposed removal of the 5/20 rule where an Indian carrier must be five-year-old and have at least 20 planes in its fleet to fly abroad in the proposed new policy.
