A Complex Regulatory Environment
Pro-growth policies like 100% FDI, the National Civil Aviation Policy and airport modernisation projects, alongside the growth of low-cost carriers and air cargo demand, are reshaping the landscape. Businesses must navigate a highly regulated, safety-driven environment, facing complex challenges in licensing, air traffic rights, competition law, environmental compliance, taxation, foreign investment and cross-border arrangements. Global supply chain dependencies and emerging ESG obligations, such as sustainable fuel adoption and carbon emission reduction, demand strategic legal foresight.
