Govt moves to cushion jet fuel spike with 25% airport charge cut

New Delhi: Civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu Wednesday said a 25% cut in aircraft landing and parking charges for domestic flights for three months is expected to help airlines save about ₹400 crore during this period, helping partly cushion the impact of high jet fuel prices. "This is a significant intervention to provide relief to airlines grappling with increasing operational costs," said Naidu, emphasising that the government is in continuous touch with airlines, airport operators, and the sector regulator.
