IATA opposes government's surcharge on airlines

International airline body International Air Transport Association (IATA) has expressed its displeasure with the Indian government over 10% in airport and navigation charges and pointed out that such
decisions should have been taken after consulting all stakeholders as the current norms are as per international regulations.

Blair Cowles, regional director, safety and flight operations, IATA, wrote to civil aviation secretary RN Choubey on December 9, saying that the increase in these charges should have been done after consulting all stakeholders.

“As you would be well aware, Airport and ANS (Air Navigation Services) charges must be in line with the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) tenets of user-consultation, cost-relatedness, transparency, and non-discrimination. These core principles have been missing from the recent all around airport and ANS charges increases in India,” Blair Cowles wrote to Choubey.
