NEW DELHI: Passengers might soon be flying on foreign-registered aircraft operated by Indian firms with the government planning to do away with certain decades-old requirements to further improve the ease of doing business. The proposal, once implemented, will reduce the compliance requirements as well as make the process easier in case airlines want to re-take the leased planes. “Doing away with India-registration norm would provide more leeway for local operators planning to expand their fleet,” sources said.
