New Delhi: The civil aviation ministry is likley to come out with a new set of regulations that will differentiate small airline operators — typically private aircraft and jets — from large commercial airlines. Ministry officials said that unlike in the US and Europe, where there are different regulations covering the two different kind of airlines, India is under one blanket regulation.
The ministry has prepared a draft of new civil aviation requirements (CAR) for scheduled operators and non-scheduled operators. The draft lists out a new set of operational guidelines for small aircraft operators.
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) both have different set of regulations for private and business aircraft. This is primarily because small aircraft carry fewer people, and require less ground staff and technical understanding, compared to what is required to operate large aircraft, including the narrow-body planes used for domestic commercial travel.
