I hope you get some answers, in the meantime, what are the rules in India?
None so far The bureaucrats are twisting themselves in knots trying to find a solution!

Factors to take into consideration would be things like is the destination going to be open when you arrive and is it an airport which accepts your type of aircraft; does the pilot have the necessary qualification to make an instrument approach if necessary.
A company at Fairoaks does this type of operation commercially and uses a Kingair, often operating between midnight and 6am, but there are other companies in the UK which use single engined aircraft.
A representative of the NOTTO (National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation) will accompany every organ.
The other factors have been taken into consideration ( airport being open, pilot rated, etc)
