Apart from maintenance preparedness, and arrangements with lessors and vendors, the DGCA has inquired the airline about how many aircrafts, and at what scale is it planning to resume the operations. It has also been asked about its funding and working capital. Depending on the response received by DGCA, showing its financial capacity and manpower to carry out the operation safely, only then the body shall decide whether or not the airline must be allowed to fly again.
