New Delhi: Domestic and international flyers out of metros or tier 1 cities may have to pay more for flight tickets from January 2016.
If the proposal of 2 percent levy on flight tickets in the draft National Aviation Policy for boosting regional air connectivity comes into effect, the flyers out of metros will have to pay more.
As a boost to measure regional air connectivity, the draft National Aviation Policy has proposed to generate around Rs 1,500 crore per annum to set up Regional Connectivity Fund and create viability gap funding to subsidise airlines, who will have to cap fares at about Rs 2,500 per flying hour between non-metro destinations from April 1, 2016.
The revised national civil aviation policy is scheduled to be sent for Cabinet nod by the end of 2015.
