New Delhi: Some Indian airlines have claimed that they had to pay landing charges for small aircraft at several airports where rules do not permit such payments and urged the government to look into the matter and help them improve connectivity to non-metro cities.
According to aviation sources, some airlines have already raised the issue with the Civil Aviation Ministry and Airports Authority of India ( AAI) in the recent past.
They have stated that they had to pay between Rs 8,000 and Rs 10,000 per landing at several airports where these payments are not permitted according to rules.
The airports include all major metro airports as well as almost two dozen non-metro ones.
In this regard, the sources also quoted AAI's 2014-15 document on 'Charges for Airports and Air Navigation Services'.
