Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu has urged the Chief Minister of Delhi to consider reducing VAT on Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) in order to prevent flights from diverting to the upcoming Jewar Airport in Greater Noida. The move comes as Jewar Airport is expected to provide significantly lower-priced fuel compared to airports in Delhi. By lowering the VAT on ATF, the Delhi government could potentially retain flights and passengers, boosting the capital’s aviation sector. This request highlights the importance of competitive pricing in attracting airlines and ensuring the economic viability of airports. With Jewar Airport set to become a key aviation hub in the region, efforts to maintain Delhi’s competitiveness in the market are crucial. The potential reduction in VAT on ATF could not only benefit airlines by lowering operational costs but also contribute to the overall growth of the aviation industry in India. As the aviation sector continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic, such measures could play a significant role in supporting its revival. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
