INTERNATIONAL
AIR TRANSPORT
-
The Government will aim
at ensuring adequate capacity to fully meet
the requirement of international trade and
tourism.
-
Liberal bilateral rights
will be given for promoting international
operations to less developed regions of the
country as well as to ill-connected far away
countries (e.g. Latin America) to promote
trade and tourism in those regions.
-
Government will ensure that
traffic rights are utilized to the maximum
extent possible through direct operations,
creation of virtual equipment by way of joint
flights, code sharing arrangements etc. by
the two national carriers i.e. Air India and
Indian Airlines. Other domestic carriers who
fulfill the minimum criteria for designation
as Indian carrier to operate international
passenger flights will also be permitted to
meet this objective. Initially, they may be
permitted to fly to neighbouring countries
against unutilised rights subject to right
of first refusal by national carriers. The
requirement of substantial ownership and effective
control of the airlines by Indians would continue
to be operative.
-
There will be freedom to
international tourist Charter operation to
different custom airports.
-
Government will also establish,
in the long run, an objective and well-defined
mechanism for sharing of international traffic
rights amongst all airlines in a transparent
manner.
-
Government will ensure that
there will be no discrimination between different
airport operators in allotting capacity to
foreign carriers as per bilateral agreements
if demand exists.
-
Efforts will be made by
national carriers to join global alliances
in their own commercial interest and in the
interest of travelling passengers through
code-sharing, exchange of frequent- flier
programs etc.
-
There will be no restriction
on international cargo flights. However, they
will not be allowed to carry domestic cargo
on their flights within the country.
-
Tourist charters from domestic
airports to foreign destinations will also
be permitted subject to safeguards for scheduled
operations.
-
Air India and Indian Airlines
would be guaranteed the use of traffic rights
actually being utilised by them for five years
following privatisation.

PROMOTION OF AVIATION IN NORTH-EAST AND REMOTE
AREAS
-
In the Northeast region and other remote areas,
the management of airport infrastructure as
well as air services is not economically viable
because of low utilisation and low fare structures
etc. However, given the topography and inaccessability
of the region, the need for such infrastructure
and air services is much greater. But at the
same time, forcing commercial airlines and
airport operators to invest in these areas,
distort the functioning in other areas also
and affect their efficient functioning commercially.
Therefore, there is need to correct these
imbalances.
-
It has been decided to exempt
all the currently operated routes in the North-East
from payment of Inland Air Travel Tax (IATT).
The decisions to provide ATF to turbo prop
aircraft operations at par with price for
international air services and capping of
sales tax at 4% would also encourage new air
services in the North-East. Operation of smaller
aircraft and helicopters for passenger and
cargo flights will be further encouraged through
rationalisation of airport charges and Avgas
prices.
-
Airport Infrastructure will
be upgraded wherever necessary keeping in
mind the linkage with the aircraft type and
traffic profile.
-
Adequate funds as grant-in-aid
through North East Council (NEC) will be made
available for the infrastructure development
work needed to be carried out in the North-East
region.
-
The air-links between the
capitals of the States in the North-East region
and between major stations on both sides of
the Brahmaputra river will be encouraged.
-
Guwahati and Calcutta will
be developed as hub station and main base
of turbo-prop aircraft operations by the airlines
-
Regular airservices will
be encouraged at convenient timings to enable
onward connections to other parts of the country
without involving night stop.
-
Suitable infrastructure
like hotels, organised taxi-services at the
airports and tourist spots in the North-East
will be encouraged to help growth in tourism
in the region.
