Under the leadership of the Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, the Civil Aviation Minister Mr.Ashok Gajapathi Raju and the Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the new policies to expand and make the country’s aviation market. The flight journey in India till date is a costly affair but still the industry suffers from losses.

As per the new Aviation Policy, the maximum fare for the flights that fly within one Hour to the reach the destinations will be charged with a maximum of Rs.2500/- plus the service tax. The minimum amount is not mentioned as it is left to the service providers convenience. These fares are applicable for the routes that are not served till now.

A typical 5/20 rule has been abolished. The 5/20 indicates 5 years of experience with 20 flights minimum are only eligible for the International fleet services. With the abolition of this policy, the domestic carriers got the freedom to operate internationally. But the number of flights required for International operations has not been revived. It still remains 20. New Airline services like AirAsia and Air Vistara will be benefited with this decision.

The government has decided to develop about 350 dilapidated or underused airstrips across India into “no-frills airports”. The main of the Central government is to increase the domestic sales by the year 2022. It also aims to make the Indian Aviation Industry stands third in the world. The flight journey in India will now be a boosting with such new policies.
