Airports Authority offers incentives to promote cargo business at Chennai airport

To promote cargo business, the Airport Authority of India has announced an incentive scheme in Chennai.

"The incentive scheme launched by AAI would reduce the operating cost of the airlines when they operate cargo freighter aircraft. The scheme would go a long way in boosting the growth of cargo at airport and in reducing the cost of oeprating cargo freighters," AAI said in a statement.

For those airlines that operate six to 10 cargo freighters in a month, incentive would be 10% on concession on applicable landing charges on freighters.

For 11 to 15 cargo freighters, the incentive is between 10 and 20% while for 16 cargo freighters and above the incentive is about 30%, it said.
