NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday allowed the grounded Boeing 737 Max aircraft to fly over the Indian airspace and also allowed foreign registered aircraft to be ferried out of the country.
It, however, did not outrightly lift a ban on the aircraft that has been grounded in India since March 2019, following two fatal crashes involving the aircraft globally.
In an order dated 20 April, signed by DGCA chief Arun Kumar, the regulator said that foreign registered Boeing 737Max aircraft, currently grounded in India, will be allowed to ferry flights outside the country subject to obtaining regulatory approvals.
