PM, CM, President and Now Vijay? Since When Did Film Stars Get Emergency Airspace Clearance?

SIBY JEYYA

Aviation rules are among the strictest in India. No plane takes off, no plane lands, without layers of clearance from the Union government, the DGCA, airport authorities, and ATC. Even VIPs like the prime minister or President require formal procedures before their jets leave the ground.


And yet, in the middle of a political rally gone tragically wrong in Karur, actor-turned-political-hopeful Vijay seems to have defied gravity — not just physically, but legally.


He was in the air within hours, flying out of Trichy on a private jet back to Chennai, while ordinary protocols take days of planning, approvals, and coordination. Which begs the most explosive question of all: How did Vijay get emergency aviation clearance without being in power? Who bent the rules — and why?


1. Flying Is Not Like Booking indigo Economy

For a private jet to take off, three things are mandatory: follow aviation regulations, clear security protocols, and obtain Union government clearance. Add to that DGCA-approved flight plans and ATC permission. Skipping any step is impossible — unless, apparently, you’re Vijay.


2. The Karur Tragedy That Changed Timelines

By all accounts, Vijay was supposed to leave around 11 PM. But after the stampede deaths at his rally, he rushed out between 6–7 PM, reached Trichy, and immediately flew back to Chennai. That means his entire flight plan changed on the spot. How was take-off clearance suddenly available hours ahead of schedule?


3. Emergency Take Off: Who Gave the Green Signal?

Only PMs, Presidents, and CMs get rule-bending emergency clearances. Aviation is Union-controlled. So who pulled the strings for Vijay? Did ATC relax the rules? Did the DGCA look away? Or did the Union bjp government — which Vijay claims to oppose — quietly open doors for him?


4. “Full-Day Clearance” Theory — And Its Holes

Defenders argue Vijay may have sought whole-day clearance. Even if true, ATC cannot approve take-offs outside the flight plan without strict security checks. Did ATC officers ignore protocol just because it was “Vijay sir”?


5. Why Is a Political Outsider Getting Political Privilege?

If rahul gandhi tried this, or if a regional neta demanded last-minute clearance, chaos would erupt. But Vijay — who insists he is “anti-BJP” — gets treatment usually reserved for heads of state. Why does the Modi government bend for him while branding others “anti-national”?


6. The Private Jet Lobby and election Season

Speculation swirls: are private jet operators effectively “on lease” to select political entrants? Did Vijay — like Aadhav arjuna the previous day — get unlimited election-season privileges? Are we watching the quiet collusion of corporate aviation and political games?


7. The Ugly Truth: Rules for Some, Privilege for Others

For ordinary Indians, missing a train or flight means begging customer service. For Vijay, aviation rules bent overnight. This isn’t just about a plane — it’s about a system that shows us who truly wields invisible power, even before holding office.


⚡ Mic-Drop Closing Line

If aviation rules can be rewritten mid-air for Vijay, what chance do common citizens have? The runway is clear: in indian politics, power begins long before ballots are cast.
