Bidding process to be completed in 6 weeks
This bidding process is expected to be completed in 6 weeks. The ministry said that airlines will be provided some flexibility in operation to connect small cities and airstrips. In the latest round, operation of seaplanes, fixed wing aircraft and helicopters will also be allowed under Non-Scheduled Operator’s Permit. Usha Padhi, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Civil Aviation said that bids have been sought for priority routes in the special flight 4.1 bid round. These routes are not yet under flight.
New guidelines for air travel
At the same time, the government has issued a new guideline for air travel, in which many such rules have been made, which will not allow you to fly if you do not follow them. Not only this, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said on these rules that even if they do not follow these rules, they will be directly supervised by the security agencies, and legal action will be taken after warning them.
Actually, wearing masks will be completely mandatory under the new rule. Not only this, but security agencies can also rake you for this even if you do not have special distancing. By mistake, do not forget your mask before going inside the airport, because in such a situation, you can be prevented by air travel as well. Even inside the aircraft, you are avoiding wearing masks or wearing them properly, after warning you may be taken off before the aircraft takes off.
