International flights from Navi Mumbai gets a fee waiver boost | Company Business News
Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) has eased its rule for Navi Mumbai airport. Airlines can now start new international flights there and still get a full landing fee waiver, even if they already fly that same route from Mumbai. Flights up to 5,000 km pay nothing in year one. The aim is to attract more international traffic.
Key Statutory Highlights
- AERA has allowed a full waiver of landing charges for all new international flights from Navi Mumbai airport, even if the airline already flies the same route from Mumbai.
- Flights up to 5,000 km get a 100% landing fee waiver in the first year and a 50% discount in the second, while flights beyond 5,000 km also get a 25% waiver in the third year.
- The incentive is open to both Indian and foreign airlines, and AERA said the immediate challenge is to get airlines to use the airport's capacity.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you book international travel or air cargo, ask your airline or travel desk whether these waived landing charges apply to your route before you compare prices, since any savings may or may not be passed on to you.
