Air travel will turn dearer from July
New Delhi, June 24, 2010: Starting from next month onwards air travel will become costlier as the
Centre, on Thursday, proposed to impose modified service tax on air tickets both for domestic as well as international flights.
At the same time, the government proposed to exempt a slew of services
like construction of certain low-cost housing, services within ports and
airports and power distribution from the ambit of Service Tax with
effect from July 1. Application of modified Service Tax on air travel as well as the
proposed exemptions will come into effect from July one, the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) said through plethora of
notifications issued here on Thursday to give effect to various provisions in the Finance Act 2010.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in the Budget 2010-11 had proposed
imposition of Service Tax on international and domestic air passengers.
This had led to disappointment in the air travel industry. Responding
to grievances of the air industry Mukherjee while replying to debate on
Finance Bill 2010 clarified that effective rates of levy would be a maximum of Rs 100 per travel for domestic journey in any class and a
maximum of Rs 500 per travel for international journey by economy class.
Now the CBEC has come out with notifications giving effect to modified
Service Tax on air travel as announced by Mukherjee. A service tax of little over 12 per cent is already imposed on foreign travel by business
or first class for the past several years. In a separate notification the CBEC said those flying to and from the North Eastern states will be
exempted from Service Tax. Source: DH News Service :

Air India strike ends after being ruled illegal
New Delhi/Mumbai. May 27, 2010 (PTI): A two-day Air India strike came to an end on Wednesday
after the Delhi high court said it was illegal and the national carrier
dismissed 17 officials, including union leaders, and suspended 15 engineers, in the strongest action it has taken against labour unrest.
The airline said as many as 73 flights were affected, with revenue losses running into Rs12 crore. The international services disrupted
included flights to Singapore, Kathmandu, Dubai, Muscat and Abu Dhabi, a
Delhi airport official said.
Strike in Air India
called off in Second day
New Delhi, May 26, 2010 : A strike at Air India dragged into its second day
called off on Wednesday that forced many flight
cancellations days after one of its aircraft crashed killing 158 people.
At least 13,000 passengers were stranded because of the strike called by
Air India's ground and technical staff who said they were protesting against a company "gag" order on union leaders speaking to reporters
about Saturday's accident.
Air India spokesman K. Swaminathan said 76 flights, mostly domestic, had
been cancelled. Flights to the United States, Britain, Tokyo, Hong Kong
and other long-haul destinations were operating. The striking employees said the "gag" order had also asked them not to
speak about the airline's safety issues or staff problems. They said two
of their leaders had been threatened with sacking for speaking to the media on these issues.
Vivek Rao, general secretary of Air Corp Employees Union, told Reuters
that some 15,000 employees had joined the strike.
On Wednesday, hundreds of weary passengers were seen waiting for their
flights at airports in New Delhi and Mumbai. Many complained of harassment.
The ailing airline is expected to lose millions of rupees in refunds. The airline lost $875 million in the fiscal year ended March 2009.
An aircraft of the airline's budget arm Air India Express crashed while
negotiating a tricky landing in southern India on Saturday, killing all
but eight of the 166 people onboard in India's worst air disaster in a
decade.
Indigo, Jet,
Paramount, look to add capacity
NEW DELHI, May 3, 2010: The budget airline IndiGo is set to
make a big splash again. The airline has sought government permission
to buy 150 aircraft, an indication that the crisis-hit aviation sector
is fast returning to normal. There are others in the queue as well to
add to their fleet. Paramount has asked permission to import 17
jets, which include 10 Airbus 321, one Embraer ERJ and six Q400.
Just a year ago, airlines were cutting capacity following a
sudden slump due to the financial crisis-triggered slowdown. The
sudden revival in the traffic growth has encouraged Indias airlines
to expand capacity. Domestic air carriers flew 39.67 lakh
passengers during March, registering an increase of 23% over the
corresponding month last year.
The airlines were meeting the recent surge in demand through
increased frequency, but now they need to add capacity to service the
rapidly-rising traffic. Jet Airways has also decided to induct two
Boeing 737s into its fleet. IndiGo had placed an order for 100
aircraft in 2005, creating a flutter in the aviation circles. The
ministry is, unlikely to clear Paramount Airways proposal.

Airways sees fares rise 10-15 pct
MUMBAI, April 9, 2010 (Reuters) - Jet Airways expects average
fares to rise by -15 percent in April-June over the previous
quarter, an official told reporters on Friday. Raj Sivakumar, vice
president, revenue management, said the rise in crude prices and
better volumes were likely to push the fares up. "If fuel goes
back to $100 how can we survive without increasing fares?" said
Saroj Datta, executive director at the airline. Aviation turbine fuel,
which makes up over 40 percent of the cost of an airline, has a 95
percent correlation with crude oil. Oil rose above $86 on Friday to near
18-month highs. Jet officials were speaking on the sidelines of a
conference to announce the launch of daily flights from Mumbai to
Johannesburg in South Africa from April 14. Jet, India's largest
private carrier by sales, has seen healthy load factors of about 80
percent for international and 70 percent for domestic routes in Jan-March, Sivakumar said.
Jet Airways is also expecting revenues of over $1 million every
month for every aircraft leased, another official, who declined to be
named, said.The carrier has leased four aircraft to Turkish Airlines
and three Boeings from its fleet to Thai Airways THAI.BK. Datta also
said the airline is looking to replace 10 aircraft this fiscal year
and would add a few to its fleet of 112.

Jet returns after pilots' strike ends
New Delhi, September 14 2009: Jet Airways, India's second- largest domestic carrier, returned to the skies
yesterday after a week-long stand-off with pilots that had grounded its flights
and cost the company millions of dollars in lost revenues. The majority of the airline's pilots had taken industrial action by reporting
sick after four of their colleagues were sacked for setting up a trades union.
An agreement struck at the weekend reinstated the sacked pilots, agreed a
resumption of flights and paved the way for the possible recognition of a
pilots' union. The five-day strike has been costly to Jet, already reeling from a difficult
year. The strike led to the cancellation of about 1,000 flights and cost the
airline $2.2m in lost revenues a day.

Airways over the next couple of days should brace for major
disruptions . A standoff between the management and pilots over the
formation of a union saw 361 pilots reporting sick en masse on
Tuesday, leading to cancellation of over half the 380-odd flights that
Jet operates daily, and stranding over 20,000 passengers.
The airline cancelled 191 flights on Tuesday and another 31 for
Wednesday mostly domestic and things could get worse for
passengers if the warring sides dont patch up fast. Fearing a
prolonged agitation, the government is toying with the idea of
invoking Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA), with home
secretary G K Pillai writing to state chief secretaries to consider
this move. The Bombay HC has also directed agitating pilots not to
disrupt services.

mass 'sick leave' Tuesday morning, resulting in cancellations of over 100
flights, inconvenience to thousands of passengers and chaos at several airports

this mass leave, as per reports from these centres. Several international
flights also had to be cancelled.
The airline operates 380 flights daily to 63 destinations in India and overseas.
'The least the airline people could have done is informed me that my flight was
being cancelled,' complained V.S. Sharma who was to fly to Mumbai from Delhi. 'I
could have made alternative arrangements. Really, this is very, very bizarre.'
Jet Airways said all affected guests can get a full refund or rebook themselves
on an alternate date without any cancellation or reissue charges, but passengers
were not amused. The pilots have been demanding the reinstatement of two of their colleagues, who
were sacked recently. The airline has some 700 pilots on its rolls.

Airlines likely to
bump up fares a bit on fuel hike
Bangalore, June 16, 2009 (DNA): Airlines are considering fuel
surcharge hike after aviation turbine fuel (ATF) scaled up 12%, or Rs
4,000 per kilolitre, on Monday. The latest hike by oil marketing
companies comes after two price increases early this month and a hike
mid-last month. A senior executive of a leading budget airline said
they cannot ignore the latest increase in the ATF price. "There
will be something (hike in fuel charges) for sure because we have not
reacted to the last two price revisions by the oil marketing
companies. If you look at the cumulative increase in ATF prices in the
last one month, it comes to around 20%," he said.
Full-service carrier Kingfisher Airlines also put out a
statement saying it will soon take a call on the price rise. "We
are examining the impact of the latest ATF prices and will take a view
shortly," it said. However, any upward movement of the fuel
surcharge would be lower than the
proportion of the ATF price hike. An airline source said that
usually, a Rs 4,000 per kilolitre jump in jet fuel prices would mean a
Rs 300 hike on short haul routes -- less than 750 km -- and Rs 600 on
routes longer than 750 km. However, since airlines are grappling with
low demand for air travel, they would look at a much smaller hike, he
said.
State-owned Air India has decided to wait and watch before
taking a final call. A Jet Airways spokesperson said the full-service
airline has not taken any decision on increasing the fuel surcharge.
The state-owned oil marketing companies hiked ATF prices on Monday
after international crude oil prices firmed at a seven-month high of
$72 per barrel on hopes of demand revival in US. - DNA

low-cost carriers have withdrawn all promotional fares and increased
basic fares by around Rs 2,000 on several sectors from Tuesday. The

New Delhi,
February 09, 2009 (PTI): Vijay Mallya-promoted Kingfisher Airlines is
targeting an equity infusion of around Rs 2,000 crore through
strategic and financial investors and may even monetise aircraft order
book over time. The infusion would happen upon "regulation
change" and the equity investment will be used to de-leverage the
balance sheet, the company told investors recently.

foreign airlines is expected to bring strategic partners eyeing a play
in the Indian market which is expected to be the fastest growing
market in the next few years," it said. Mallya had recently told
