TN Should Press Centre to Include Madurai in Foreign Airline Services: FICCI

Madurai: In the wake of the Union Civil Aviation Ministry's proposal barring new domestic airlines to operate on the international routes that are less than six hours of journey from Indian cities, FICCI has urged the State government to press the Union Government to include the Madurai Airport in the Bi-lateral Airport Treaties with countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE, Kuwait and Thailand.


In a press statement, N Jegatheesan, president of the Tamilnadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Madurai, said, "As Madurai is not included in the treaty with countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE, Kuwait and Thailand, the airlines of those countries, though willing to commence direct services to Madurai from their countries, would be not able to do so. Only our domestic airlines are permitted to operate such services."
