Mumbai: Slamming a DGCA directive to airlines to collect "donations"
from passengers for cleanliness drive at airports and aircraft, the apex
air travellers body today urged the aviation ministry to withdraw the
decree at the earliest.
In a letter to Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathy Raju, Air Passenger Association of India (APAI) also suggested that such funds could be raised by adding a nominal amount of Rs 10-25 in the passenger service fee component, which is collected by the airport operators.
"We strongly believe that a small amount of Rs 10 or Rs 15 or Rs 25 may be asked to be collected by all the operational airports in the country as an additional surcharge in the passenger service fee component. This amount will run into several crore and can be collected without causing any pain or inconvenience to any of the passengers," APAI president D Sudhakar Reddy said in the letter.
