Excise duty will be increased on Business and Club class tickets, and rates are varied according to the routes.
The increased country-wise rate on individual tickets is proposed as follows:
- Middle East and African countries, including Dubai and Saudi Arabia, will pay 105,000
- For the USA and Canada, travelers will pay 100,000 in duty.
- For North America and Latin America, duty will be 350,000.
- For European countries, duty has been increased from 60000 to 2100000.
Economic and economic plus class tickets will pay a duty of $12,500.
These rates will be applicable from July 1 onwards.
