‘Govt. must focus on Infra development and affordable airfares’

Vandana Singh, Director, Global Corporate Key Account Management, Saudia Cargo said, “The aviation industry is at a pivotal moment as we approach Budget 2025. With rising fuel costs and increasing regulatory demands, we expect the government to prioritise infrastructure development that enhances connectivity while keeping airfares affordable. Amidst an anticipated GDP growth of 6.4 per cent, this budget is an opportunity to balance fiscal responsibility with sustainable practices. We hope for initiatives that not only address immediate challenges but also pave the way for innovation in green technologies, ensuring the sector can thrive in a competitive global landscape.”
