Replying to a submission on the issue in the Assembly, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the state also sought exemption from the Centre on two conditions to start its own airliner.
As per the guidelines, a new airline should have
five years experience in operating domestic services and also a minimum of 20
aircraft to operate international flights. Chief Minister Chandy said the state had sought
exemption on these conditions.
He added that though recent media reports had stated
that the Centre had agreed to the State's request, the government had not
received an official communication from the Civil Aviation Ministry in this
regard.
It has been long pending complaint of lakhs of
Keralities working in the Gulf countries that airlines charge exorbitant fares,
especially during holiday and festival seasons.
