Scrapping an archaic rule, the government has allowed passengers on scheduled flights - like Indian Airlines, Jet, Shara, and Deccan - to take photographs from inside an airborne aircraft.
This is an amazing development and it is possible that a whole new market may be born. Wouldn't you like to be able to see your whole sector or colony from the air? Maps and blueprints are one thing, but it is altogether a different thing if you get to see the birds-eye view.
Airline passengers now can click photos when the plane is taxing for take off, and also during the take-off and landing process at civil airports.
- However photography is still not permitted at defence aerodromes at any atage.
