India is a fantastic potential market but taxation higher: IATA chief

Istanbul, Jun 6 (PTI) India is a fantastic potential market for aviation but not a cheap market to operate as taxation is higher in the country than in many other places, international airlines' grouping IATA's chief Willie Walsh said on Tuesday.

During a media briefing here, Walsh also highlighted the scale of the economy and investments going into airports in India.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a grouping of more than 300 airlines, including Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet.

Press Trust Of India (PTI) is India's premier news agency, with a reach as vast as the Indian Railways'. It employs nearly 400 journalists and 500 stringers to cover almost every city and small town in India. Collectively, our journalists put out more than 1,000 stories and 250 photographs including graphics every day to feed the appetite of the diverse subscribers, who include the mainstream media, the specialized presses, research groups, companies, and government and non-governmental organizations.
