The IATA Agents Association of India (IAAI) has expressed some concerns of the new National Civil Aviation Policy (NCAP). According to IAAI, the policy is silent on many aspects and segments of airline operations like fare structuring, safety & security, standard and quality of airport/ground handling services, etc. that are in violation of relevant Indian Aircraft Rules and IATA Resolutions.
This has led to lack of quality and losses being incurred by the travelers and the Passenger Travel Agents alike, deprivation of Travel Agency Commission, apart from causing huge losses of Revenue to the Government of India by way of Service Tax and Income Tax evasions, IAAI opines.
IAAI’s Committees that deal with the Government, IATA & Industry Affairs have identified the various factors that are the root causes and drawn up a comprehensive list of certain suggestions to rectify the same from which some of the prime ones are listed below:
a) Minimizing and standardizing ATF prices all over India enabling airlines to economically benefit with enhanced payload.
b) Enforcement of the statutory right under Aircraft Rules – each passenger can carry a checked-baggage free of cost.
