Air India has reportedly agreed to consider starting new flights in the coming months from Visakhapatnam and also reducing cargo charges from the key east coast city of Andhra Pradesh, it is learnt.
This follows a recent meeting between the top management of Air India and representatives of the Andhra Pradesh Air Travellers Association, reports said.
One of the issues highlighted on the occasion was the difference in cargo-related charges in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad airports, which was disadvantaging exporters from Vizag. Bringing the charges on par would boost air cargo from the city, it was pointed out, as per reports.
