NEW DELHI, DEC. 30. The Civil Aviation Minister, Praful Patel, today told the media that five years' domestic operational experience has been stipulated for all domestic airlines, as they would be Indian flag carriers when operating to foreign destinations and should have a minimum flying experience. Jet and Air Sahara had established themselves well and have between them almost 60 per cent of the domestic market, he said. Mr. Patel said only Indian Airlines and Air India would operate in the Gulf region, including the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for the next three years. Private carriers would not be allowed to fly on these profitable routes during this period. Asked when the private airlines would fly abroad, Mr. Patel said it might come into effect within a month, once the Cabinet decision was notified.
