The government has issued No Objection Certificate (NOC) to three new airlines to increase competition in the aviation sector and reduce dependence on big airlines. The names of these airlines are Shankha Air, Alhind Air and Fly Express.
This decision has been taken at a time when problems related to IndiGo’s operation came to light recently. After this the government felt that there was a need for more companies and more options in the Indian aviation sector.
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said the government aims to promote more airlines in Indian skies. The government believes that with the entry of new players, passengers will get better service and more options.
Expert said – this will improve air connectivity
Aviation industry experts say that this will start new competition in the Indian aviation sector. However, the real challenge facing these new airlines begins now. They will have to raise capital, build aircraft fleets and build strong networks so they can truly take off.
According to experts, if these airlines are successful, passengers will directly benefit from it. There will be more options for tickets and air connectivity to different parts of the country will also be better.
Many processes even after getting NOC
Receiving NOC means that the government has given permission to these companies to start the further process of starting the airline. Now the next step will be to obtain Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from DGCA. Along with this, they will have to make all the preparations related to aircraft (fleet), pilots and staff, maintenance and route network.
This entire process usually lasts for several months. During this time, it becomes clear how financially strong an airline is and how prepared it is for flight operations.
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu had shared the information on social media on Tuesday.
Decision to reduce dependence on big companies
India’s domestic aviation market is among the fastest growing markets in the world today. The government believes that the more airlines there are, the more flights and seats will be available.
This will improve the connectivity of different parts of the country and ticket prices will also remain under control due to competition. With this thinking, the government is giving opportunities to new players, so that the aviation market does not depend on just one or two big companies and passengers can get more options.
