What will be the role of the private airlines in the new routes?
I feel private airlines have an important role to play in the civil aviation sector. In future, it will be the non-scheduled private airlines which will play a bigger role in expanding the network of regional stations. However, the scheduled private airlines are free to operate on any new routes subject to compliance to Route Dispersal Guidelines. As per the current policy, the domestic private airlines are not permitted to operate on international routes.
