The Kerala government has approached the Aviation Ministry’s for approval to have a startup airline with foreign operations. The CPM-backed Achuthanandan government wants to begin an airline in collaboration with an NRI and fly it to the Gulf.
According to Indian aviation rules, an airline must be five-year-old an have minimum 20 aircraft before it can be allowed to fly abroad. Kerala government had some time back also sent this request and has now approached the ministry again recently.
Its proposal, however, is not learnt to contain details of fleet they plan to have for their airline. Interestingly, some strong Left leaders have expressed opposition to the ministry’s plan to relax rules for airlines going abroad.
