As Indian carriers Air India and IndiGo prepare to expand their global presence in civil aviation, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has made it easier for Indian carriers to fly to new destinations abroad. Notably, the latest entrant, Akasa Air is also planning to make a debut in the international commercial airline business.
To this end, the civil aviation regulator has decreased the earlier 33 checkpoint assessment to just 10 checkpoints now. This has been done to make it easier for airlines to expand their network to destinations that have no airline services in place.
