Background
The non-scheduled and chartered aviation segment in India consists of operators that provide on-demand flights rather than fixed-schedule commercial services. Such operators in India function under the regulatory framework of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Ministry of Civil Aviation, which issue permits for non-scheduled operations, including air taxi and chartered passenger services.
Air Charter Services Pvt. Ltd. operates in this broader segment, which has expanded in India alongside the growth of corporate travel, religious tourism, and special-purpose flights such as medical evacuation and offshore logistics.
Significance
Companies in the chartered aviation space play a complementary role to scheduled airlines by offering point-to-point connectivity, including to airports and airstrips that are not served by major commercial carriers. They contribute to regional connectivity objectives that have also been pursued through national policy initiatives such as the UDAN regional connectivity scheme.
