The Federation of Indian Airlines has asked the civil-aviation ministry to accelerate emergency credit under ECLGS 5.0, Aerospace Global News reports. Representing Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet, the federation cites Middle Eastern airspace restrictions, diversions, rupee depreciation and higher aviation-fuel prices as sources of operational and financial pressure.
Some applicants have reportedly received part of approved assistance, while the federation seeks faster release of remaining funds and proposes measures affecting fuel taxes and airport charges. These are industry requests, not confirmation that every proposed tax change has been adopted or all credit has been disbursed. Ambiguous individual funding units in the secondary report are omitted rather than repeated as confirmed amounts.
