Thiruvananthapuram: Chief minister Oommen Chandy has said that the state government would consider reducing the VAT on aviation fuel if airline companies end the fleecing of passengers during the festival season. “We have strong opposition to the exorbitant rates airline companies charge during the season,” he said while commissioning the new radar at the airport here on Tuesday.
He said that the civil aviation ministry should have some control over the air fares of private airline companies. He was responding to Union minister of state for civil aviation K.C. Venugopal’s observation that the state had clamped a huge VAT on aviation fuel.
