Indicating its intentions to fly abroad soon, proposed airline AirAsia India on Wednesday trashed the "bizarre" policy of allowing carriers to operate international flights only after five years of domestic operations.
"These are bizarre rules. That you can't fly abroad before five years and 20 aircraft (fleet). That rule makes no sense. It is a negative for the Indian airlines. "I, as a one-plane airline in Malaysia, can fly to India. India is the only country which has such a rule," Air Asia Group chief executive Tony Fernandes said here.
