NEW DELHI: Changing the VT registration code of the Indian airplanes will have a big financial implication on domestic carriers as all aircraft would have to be grounded till those are repainted with the new registration code, the government informed Parliament on Thursday.
According to global rules set by UN body International Civil Aviation Organisation, each aircraft has to be registered in a country, where it is allotted a registration number that has two letters as the country code, followed by three letters or numbers of the owner’s choice like VT-123 in case of an Indian aircraft.
