New Delhi: Grouping under the umbrella of the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), representatives of domestic airlines will meet civil aviation minister Praful Patel on Tuesday with a list of demands that will include asking the government for fiscal concessions, apart from scrapping the proposal for differential airport charges, as put forward by the government.

It is expected that airline representatives will also press for an amendment to the Finance Bill so that withholding tax on aircraft lease rentals continues to be exempted.

On the cards for the meeting will also be the expectation that the government will not implement its recent proposal to double the peak-hour airport charges.
