Ministry of Defence waives off landing charges at Port Blair Airport for promotion of International flights

Port Blair, Feb 21 (UNI) In view of the larger interest of the development of these Islands, the Ministry of Defence has conveyed its decision to waive off the landing charges at Port Blair Airport initially for a period of three years for the promotion of international flights by airlines.

This has come, as a result of vigorous follow-ups by A & N Administration with Ministries of Home Affairs and Defence to tap the tourism potential of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The A & N Islands are favourably located in close proximity to ASEAN Countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar and Indonesia to attract foreign tourists.

The Veer Savarkar International Airport at Port Blair has already been designated as a port of entry into/ exit from India with valid travel documents (including e-visas) for all class of passengers.

Also, the Govt. of India has relaxed the Restricted Area Permit (RAP) for foreign visitors travelling to the Islands.

Further, to promote international flights from Port Blair, the A & N Administration has also relaxed the VAT on ATF from 10% to 0% for international flights.

All these efforts have brightened the prospects of International flight services ex- Port Blair Airport, sources said.
