<h1>Aircraft import age limit relaxed, allowing older pressurised and unpressurised planes subject to operational and record conditions.</h1> The draft CAR revises import eligibility by extending permissible ages: pressurised aircraft for passenger and general aviation must not have surpassed twenty years of age or sixty-five percent of designed economic life by pressurisation cycles, whichever is earlier; unpressurised aircraft are subject to case-by-case approval based on complete records, a requirement of fifty flight hours in the prior six months, and a hard cut-off barring aircraft older than twenty-five years; all imports remain subject to DGCA oversight and specified operational conditions.
