New Delhi: Union civil aviation secretary Ashok Lavasa has called a meeting over 30 CEOs from across airlines, airports, ground handling and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) firms on Tuesday.
With the civil aviation ministry expected to make a presentation on the sector to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi soon, the ministry is seeking suggestions from the industry that will help put the aviation sector back on the growth track after dismal performance of the past few years.
An industry executive said, “The meeting is at a very short notice and was announced just a day ago without any notice. It is supposed to start at 11 in the morning, but I believe many company officials may not be able to attend.”
Among the major issues likely to be discussed are a uniform reduction in taxes on fuel (ATF) across the states that has been sought by airlines in order to improve their profitability.
