MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION ( SHRI PRAFUL PATEL )
(a), (b) & (c): At present, Indore is not yet declared as international airport, therefore, it cannot be granted as point of call to any foreign airlines. So far as Indian scheduled carriers are concerned, they are free to mount international services from any point in India to foreign destinations. However, actual operations by any airline is always guided by its commercial judgment, depending upon market potential, viability, suitability of the airport to handle aircraft type and availability of operators/cabin crew.
