By IANS,
[RxPG] New Delhi, May 15 - India's civil aviation watchdog has asked its Malaysian and Russian counterparts to state why their carriers should not be barred entry into Indian airspace when its own airlines were being denied reciprocal entry.
In Malaysia's case, a letter from India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation - says two designated carriers Air Sahara and Air India Express were being disallowed entry into that country in violation of their bilateral pact.
'The DGCA has basically asked its counterpart to explain why Malaysian Airlines should not be denied entry into India since two of our designated carriers are not being given landing rights in Kuala Lumpur,' an official spokesperson said.
'In Russia's case also a similar letter was sent since they said Indian carriers will be not be allowed to fly into their airspace from May 15. So we said we'll take action against Aeroflot and Transco Airlines,' the spokesperson told IANS.
'Nevertheless, Russia has got back to us saying it has extended the date. So the matters rest till further negotiations.'
