Thiruvananthapuram: The newly installed GPRS-enabled Electronic Data Capture (EDC) machine at Trivandrum International Airport will make it easy to receive payments such as airport charges from non-scheduled flights.
"With India opening its market to private airline operators, this new mode of payment for non-scheduled operators would be quite beneficial for the users," said Asok Kumar, joint secretary at the ministry of civil aviation, government of India. He said the new facility would be introduced in all airports in the country by December 31.
While addressing the gathering, V N Chandran, director of the Trivandrum International Airport said the commissioning of the GPRS-enabled EDC machine would allow non-scheduled airlines to make payments related to airport charges to AAI through credit/debit or corporate cards, which until now was remitted through casual operators in cash.
