Bihar polls: DGCA asks non-scheduled players to follow norms

New Delhi: Ahead of Bihar polls, DGCA has directed all chartered flight operators to strictly follow norms and ensure that normal airline operations are not hit at Patna airport, which has less landing and parking capacity.

During election time, the number of politicians and related people, including VIPs and VVIPs, opting for chartered flights is usually high.

Assembly elections in Bihar would be held in five phases between October 12 and November 5.

In a meeting with Non-Scheduled Operator Permit (NSOP) holders, the regulator asked them to ensure that all regulations, including those related to carrying VIPs, are strictly followed while flying to Bihar, sources said.
