 "Levy on airlines can disrupt competitive conditions, says IATA chief")
Describing India as among the “most open” aviation markets, international airlines grouping International Air Transport Association chief Alexandre de Juniac has said the country stands to benefit from the regional air connectivity plan but imposing levy on carriers can disrupt competitive conditions.
While being appreciative of the Indian government putting in a “consistent plan” for the aviation sector, Juniac also emphasised the need to have the right infrastructure and lower costs for the airlines.
“In general, we are not favouring levies because we think that it is a disruption or disturbance in the competitive conditions,” Juniac said.
