Chief executive officers of Indian airlines reiterated the call for lower taxes, improved infrastructure and better processes to enable them to tide over the rise in fuel prices and become hubs for international travel.
The CEOs made the plea at a panel discussion at Wings India event in Hyderabad on Friday.
“Twenty-one per cent of an airline’s revenue goes straight to the government in the form of taxes. This issue needs to be addressed immediately,” IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta said. ” Indian airlines are among the most efficient in the world but are saddled with high taxes,” added Sunil Bhaskaran, CEO of AirAsia India.
