Kochi, Feb 27 (PTI) Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi today appealed to the Kerala government to reduce sales tax on aviation fuel, which was the highest in the country.
"The Kerala government should reduce sales tax on aviation fuel," he said after inaugurating the corporate headquarters of Air India Express, the low cost subsidiary of Air India, which was shifted from Mumbai to Kochi.
He also requested the Cochin International Airport Ltd management to reduce their parking and handling fee.
"The shifting of AIE headquarters should not be seen as an opportunity to charge more, but opportunity to help people of the state. Otherwise it would be difficult to operate the service," the minster said.
The decision to shift the AIE headquarters was a major step to help improve the performance of Air India. The entire operation of AIE would be guided and operated from here.
Of the 25 lakh travellers in AIE, 14.5 lakh are from Kerala, he said, adding that efforts would be made to introduce a flight to Dammam when the summer schedules are announced in March-April. AIE operates mainly to various Gulf destinations besides Singapore and Dhaka.
The AIE''s hangar will become operational by April first week where both domestic and foreign airlines can be repaired, he said.
To provide accommodation facilities for the staff who would shift to Kochi from Mumbai, talks would be held with Housing Board authorities to purchase flats, Ravi said.
Air India Charters Ltd Chairman Arvind Jadhav said AI and AIE would be separate entities and the Air India Express would be given all freedom to choose its network.
AIE currently has 21 aircraft and four will be added soon. Of the 21 aircraft, three each are based in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, and four at Kozhikode.
AIE today operated 189 flights on its network. AIE will commence operations to Dammam by next month. Similarly flights from Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram to Dammam are also on the anvil by May this year.
