New Delhi: Playing safe on the vexed international flying norms for domestic airlines, the government has kept all options open on 5/20 rule even as it today unveiled a comprehensive draft civil aviation policy.
By giving three options on the norm for stakeholders, the Civil Aviation Ministry seems to have taken a cautious approach on the issue before putting in place the final policy that is expected in a couple of months.
The revised draft policy, which has been in the works for nearly a year, was unveiled today and provides for a slew of incentives to various segments of the domestic aviation sector which is yet to realise its full potential.
Despite various lobby groups batting for and against the 5/20 norm -- whereby only local carriers having five years of operational experience and a fleet of 20 aircraft are allowed to fly overseas -- the policy did not provide a finality on the matter.
