Air Asia India’s Malaysian partner, Air Asia Berhad, seeks to scrap the 0/20 aviation rule formulated by the Indian Government. Malaysian Business Council made a request to Indian Government to exempt Air Asia India from 0/20 rule.
The Cabinet had cleared the Civil Aviation Policy of 5/20 and replaced it with 0/20. The 5/20 policy mandated the national carriers to have minimum 5 years of operational experience and fleet of atleast 20 aircrafts to go international. The 5 years of experience by aviation companies was scrapped and brought down to 0/20.
The mentioned exemption of 0/20 would help to increase India and Malaysia connectivity. The Malaysian carriers have completely used up their bilateral entitlements and are unable to add more flights to India for now. On the contrary, Indian Air Asia flights do not fly to Malaysia. The Malaysian partner guaranteed to launch international flights within three months post relaxation of 0/20 norm.
