India\u2019s Aviation Ministry has decided to remove restrictions on the flights of Airbus A-380 to country.<\/h1>\n

New Delhi, Jan 28\/Nationalturk – Paving the way for return of Airbus A-380 flights in the country, India\u2019s Aviation Ministry has decided to remove restrictions on the flights of Airbus A-380 to country.<\/p>\n

Officials said India has decided to remove restrictions on flights of Airbus A-380 to India.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, flights of A-380 to India will be allowed to airports which are equipped to handle them. At present only four airports — Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore have the required infrastructure for operations of A-380. The decision has been taken after due consultations with the DGCA, Air India and Airports Authority of India,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

India had restricted Airbus A380 flights in 2008 in an effort to help struggling domestic carriers cope with global competition.<\/p>\n

\u2018Operations would be subject to overall traffic entitlements\u2019<\/h2>\n

The officials said \u00a0operations of A-380 aircraft would be subject to overall traffic entitlements within the bilateral Air Service Agreements (ASAs) with different countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has also been decided that wherever the entitlements are not expressed in terms of seats per week, the same should be rationalized and converted into seats per week before allowing A-380 operations to India from these countries,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Officials further said if any Air Service Agreement (ASA) specifically prohibits operation of A-380 to India, the same will also be required to be amended before A380 operations from that country are allowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rationalization of traffic rights from services per week to seats per week shall be done through mutual negotiations through Memorandum of Understanding. Before operations of A-380 are allowed, all the airports shall have to get DGCA certification and make adequate preparation in terms of various services required,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Operation of A 380s will help airports to generate more revenue\u2019<\/h3>\n

They said the operation of A 380s will help airports to generate more revenue, give more comfortable and luxurious travel to passengers, liberalize the Civil Aviation milieu in India and boost the Iimage of Indian civil aviation in the international market.<\/p>\n

According to officials, Singapore Airline, Emirates and Lufthansa are interested in operating A-380 aircrafts in India on various international routes.<\/p>\n
