The Airlines Association of Thailand (AAT) is urging the government to lower the fuel tax and operational fees at airports amid concerns over a potential increase in oil prices following the announcement by Opec+ that the group would reduce its output, saying the lower cost burden would eventually help to reduce airfares.
AAT president Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth said the government could help airlines by subsidising a scheme that would assist them with their costs, including the jet fuel tax as well as service fees required by Airports of Thailand and Aeronautical Radio of Thailand.
