Govt to collect cess to fund remote connectivity

A cess of Rs 40-50 per departing domestic passenger may be levied by the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation to part-fund connectivity to remote towns and cities soon. The Ministry is actively considering doing away with the present route dispersal guidelines, which require scheduled airlines to deploy at least 10 per cent capacity on routes which are otherwise not lucrative and connect remote areas, smaller towns and cities.
