What airline NOCs signal for Indian aviation
December 26, 2025
|Mint New Delhi
Civil aviation minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu tweeted that three proposed airlines-Shankh Air, AI Hind Air and FlyExpresshave received no-objection certificates (NOCs). Mint explains what the government's NOC actually signifies.
1 Is this the end of the IndiGo-AI duopoly?
No. An NOC does not allow an airline to fly, sell tickets, or commence operations. It merely permits a company to begin the process of setting up an airline. Air Kerala shows the gap between approval and execution. Operated by Zettfly Aviation Pvt. Ltd and founded by Indian-origin entrepreneurs based in UAE, the airline received the ministry's NOC in mid-2024. Reports say it aimed to begin operations in 2025. Yet it has not inducted a single aircraft, a prerequisite to apply for an air operator certificate (AOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Without an AOC, no airline can operate.
2 Then why was there excitement?
