NEW DELHI: The country's civil aviation regulator has more than doubled the validity of airline transport pilot licence to five years as part of changes introduced to make it easier for pilots and airlines to do business in India.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation also doubled to 12 months the validity of the medical certificates of pilots aged 40 to 60 years. "These changes have been carried out through amendments to rule 39C of the Aircraft Rules, 1937, and are part of the initiative to make it easier for businesses in India," a senior civil aviation ministry official, who did not wish to be named, said.
