Guwahati, Dec 18: The Government must change its policies for the survival of the aviation sector in India, President of the Federation of Indian Pilots, Capt CS Randhawa said. He also said that with the privatisation of major airports, the parking and landing fees increased considerably, which added to the burden of the airlines. In an interview with The Assam Tribune, Capt Randhawa expressed the view that it is becoming very challenging for the airlines to operate under the present circumstances, and a number of airlines have already closed down. It may be mentioned here that airlines like Jet Airways, Go Air, Kingfisher Airlines, etc have closed down as they could not deal with the growing operational costs. Capt Randhawa pointed out that fuel cost, parking charge, navigation tax, etc, are increasing sharply and the airlines have to manage other costs like salaries of pilots, air crew, ground staff, etc. With the privatisation of the airports, the parking and landing costs increased by four to five times, which put an additional load on the airlines.
