MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION ( SHRI PRAFUL PATEL )
(a) & (b): A notification has been published as GSR 228 in the Gazette of India of 10.7.2004 inviting objections or suggestions to the proposal for revision of fees for various kinds of licences/certificates including grant or renewal of licenses for an aerodrome and registration of aircraft. This has been done as the fee structure in some cases had not been revised for over a decade and in certain cases these were quite low.
(c): Airfares are determined through interplay of various factors like demand/supply, seasonality, product features such as frequency, timing, nature of operations etc. Revision of these charges is, therefore, unlikely to have any major impact on airfares.
