Sops likely for airlines flying to smaller towns

New Delhi: In an attempt to improve connectivity to remote areas, the Government plans to introduce a new category of 87 incentive destinations including Warangal, Vellore, Tuticorin and Hassan.

The plan includes offering concessions for operating to and from the incentive destinations.

Airlines will be given sops which include exemption from landing and parking charges, route navigation facilities charges,  passenger service fee, fuel throughput charges and any other charges levied by the Airports Authority of India.

These suggestions have been made in a draft on the revised policy on regional and remote area connectivity. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has invited comments from all stakeholders by September 4 before a final decision is taken.
