A plane's guide
The Minister of Civil Aviation said that there is no specific life for planes in India, no time recognition. These aircraft are performed in accordance with the prescribed schedule of the maintenance and monitoring manufacturer. However, in the case of 'permanently withdrawn use' planes, they are not considered efficient for aviation.
Increase in aviation capacity
The figures show that India's civil aviation sector has made significant progress in the last few years, and the airlines have increased the aviation capacity by ordering more planes in the field.
