In a landmark move, the Union government on Wednesday approved a plan to replace a decade-old rule of allowing new domestic airlines set up in India to fly on international routes.

New airlines, such as Vistara and AirAsia, can now fly to international routes after operating at least 20 aircraft in the domestic market.

The new norms were a part of the National Civil Aviation Policy 2016, which was approved by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday.

What is the 5/20 rule?
