Govt rightly removed cap on airfares. Now rationalise taxes to make aviation sector more competitive

ThePrint view on the most important issues.

   

Government has done well to remove the regressive caps on airfares. It should also rationalise taxes and levies on the sector to make it more competitive and allow airlines to invest in growing the pandemic-hit business and safety. Civil aviation is no longer a luxury but a critical public-facing service.
