Press Trust of Kashmir | Srinagar : In a bid to encourage tourist charter flights, the Srinagar Airport authority has decided to reduce the application fees for night parking of helicopters by 50 per cent.
Director Srinagar Airport said the application fees for night parking of helicopters has been reduced by 50 per cent and the people will have to pay only Rs 50,000 plus taxes along the application for night parking permission.
“A very profitable news for helicopter operators. We have reduced the application fees for night parking of helicopters at our airport by 50%,” he said. “Now you have to pay only Rs 50,000 plus taxes alongwith your application for night parking permission.”
He said: “We are sure that this huge reduction will encourage the tourist charter flights in our beautiful Valley.
We have brought a new scheme and a great opportunity for the Self Help Groups registered with Deputy Commissioner, Budgam for sale of their Food Items or Handicrafts or any other product to the passengers at our airport, he said adding, “the normal rental for the sale outlets and shops at our airport is about Rs 5 Lakh per month. But we are offering these shops to the Self Help Groups at a nominal rent of Rs 6,133 only for a period of 15 days. This amount includes GST and all other taxes.” He said.
He said “the process of applying for these shops is very simple. The desirous Self Help Group needs to just click on the following link https://www.aai.aero/en/node/add/shg-user-detail.”
“This will open up our website with an application format. The SHG may fill up the necessary details and upload their PAN Card, Aadhar Card & Registration Documents, if any. The applications will be collected and compiled in the order of the seniority of the SHG. Here the Seniority means first come first serve
We will submit the collected applications to the Deputy Commissioner, Budgam for his approval and recommendation. After the approval and recommendation of Deputy Commissioner, Budgam the shop will be allotted to the approved SHG.” He added.
“The allotment will be in the order of seniority. The allotment will be made for a period of 15 days. The rent of Rs 6,133 is payable in advance. There are no other charges.” He further added.
“We get more than 13 thousand passengers every day. All of these passengers will be the potential customers of the SHG. This is a golden opportunity for the promotion of the Self Help Groups. They can sell their products for a period of 15 days from the airport. And the advertising of your SHG is automatic. If the product of the SHG is good, the customers will remember it and contact the SHG for sourcing the product even after the sale period of 15 days is over. Therefore this is also a golden opportunity for advertising of SHG products.” He stated further.
“The location of the shops is in the security hold area. There are two such shops. The area of each shop is 7 Square Meters
The SHA does not have to worry about the passes for entry to the airport. We have already taken advance approval from BCAS to issue passes for the SHG for a period of 15 days. The SHG has to just submit the photographs to us to get the entry into the airport.” He added
He added:”We are sure that many Self Help Groups will use this opportunity for the sale of their products at our airport. This is our small contribution for the economic development and progress of our neighborhood.”:-PTK.
