NEW DELHI: Air India, which was recently acquired by the Tata Group, has lost its preferential status when it comes to operating international flights from India, as per the latest circular issued by the regulator The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The fresh DGCA circular, which was issued on April 19, has removed the clause that said, “due consideration shall be given to operational plans submitted by Air India before allocation of the traffic rights to other eligible applicants.”
