India Eases Entry Rules For Foreign Aircraft

India has decided to reduce the advance-application requirements for foreign-registered aircraft to enter the country from seven to three business days for landing permits, and from three days to one business day for overflights. The move is a significant breakthrough for business aircraft operators, who have long complained that Indian bureaucracy has undermined the flexibility they seek to deliver.

The change will be confirmed only when the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has made the necessary changes to the country’s civil aviation requirements (CAR). This process is expected to take another two months.
