Shillong: To attract more flight operators to the state, Meghalaya government has exempted tax on Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF).
"The exemption is aimed at attracting more aircraft operators to use the port and help make the Shillong Airport as a re-fuelling centre in the NE," Excise and Taxation Commissioner J Lyngdoh said.
The exemption of tax on ATF would also make the airfare more competitive in the state, he said.
Constructed in the mid 1960s and operational in mid 1970s, Shillong Airport at present accommodates only 50-seater ATR aircraft six days a week from Kolkata.
