Indian government approves 3 new airlines

Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu informed that the Government of India has issued No Objection Certificate (NOC) to three new airline companies, which include Al Hind Air, Shankha Air and Flying Express.

The government body DGCA also checks the new airline companies under every smallest detail and rules to see whether the planes of the airline companies are really ready to fly or not.

• After this, you will have to obtain many licenses and No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the most important of which is Air Operator Certificate (AOC). Without this you cannot operate your airline company and you are required to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
