A gift for international flights at Chandigarh airport: Proposal sent to waive parking and landing charges; new flights to be available for Udaipur-Ayodhya-Prayagraj.
There will now be a significant respite for airlines launching new international flights from Chandigarh.
There will now be a significant respite for airlines launching new international flights from Chandigarh’s Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport. Discounts on marketing and advertising will be provided in addition to the remission of landing, cargo, and parking fees at the airport. In this regard, Chandigarh International Airport Limited has draughted a number of new policies and submitted them to the Civil Aviation Ministry of the central government.
“On Call” Service: This suggests a demand-driven, adaptable paradigm as opposed to a set, consistent timetable. A flight will probably only be booked to a certain location if there is sufficient demand (a predetermined number of passengers) to make the route profitable for the airline.
Promoting New Routes: According to the article, 17 airports are being evaluated for this programme, most likely with the intention of linking to destinations in a flight time of 7-8 hours. This implies a move away from depending on well-known hubs like Delhi or Mumbai and towards the establishment of new direct international lines that do not now exist.
Government Support: The Chandigarh International Airport CEO’s discussion of this and emphasis on the possible advantages for airlines raises the possibility that the government is offering incentives or “concessions” to airlines in order to allow them to run these flights. To lessen the risk for the airlines, this might take the shape of lowered airport fees or other forms of financial assistance.
“Several airlines are getting ready to launch new flights from Chandigarh to Udaipur, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj,” Verma said. By 2026, airline businesses will receive 200 new aircraft, despite the nation now lacking approximately 400 aircraft. Air India and IndiGo have already reserved new aircraft.
