AAP Government Allows Officials To Travel In Private Airlines With Rider

On the directives of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the Finance Department has issued a circular permitting officers to travel in private airlines.

New Delhi: Relaxing the rules regarding air travel by its officials, the Delhi government has permitted them to travel in private airlines but with a rider.

A senior government official said according to government's decision, officers can travel in private airlines as long as the fare is less than that of the national carrier.

"On the directives of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the Finance Department has issued a circular permitting officers to travel in private airlines," official said.

But the fare of that airline should be less than that of Air India, he said.

Earlier this month, the Centre also allowed its officials to fly in airlines other than Air India but with certain conditions.
