Come Fly to India

The Kerala govt has approached the aviation ministry for permission to start an Airlines operation.

With a huge immigrant population in the Gulf, the Kerala Govt wants to start an international flight to the Gulf.

Looks like they don’t have the pre-requisites like the minimum operations of 20 aircrafts and to be in business for a minimum of 5 years, but they have been looking for an exception.

Why don’t they just lobby with the govt to allow more flight by the private operators?

TOI Reports that it might not be viable to operate two Airports in Goa, one the existing Dhabolim and the proposed one at Mopa.

The State Authorities had recently asked the ICAO to examine if the two could be used together. ICAO has submitted the report that it won’t be financially viable.
