The Minister for Civil Aviation, Ajit Singh, says he has written to the Oil Ministry on declaring aviation turbine fuel a notified product.
Such a move will decrease burden of fuel cost on airlines.
Recently, the airlines raised domestic fares citing high ATF prices. The Minister says no fresh note is being moved by the Government on allowing foreign direct investment in domestic aviation. He added that Mamata Banerjee neither said no nor yes on the issue.
The Minister will travel to Kolkata on September 14 enroute Kharagpur. The Minister is a IIT Kharagpur graduate and is going there for the 75th anniversary.
