This was being done since the low-cost service of the national carrier was mostly used by the Gulf-bound passengers from Kerala, Ravi said during the inauguration of the new International Terminal of Thiruvanathapuram Airport here.
He said India had already emerged as the 9th largest civil aviation market and the sector was poised for significant growth in the country in the coming years.
He said the demand for reduction in user-fee for the new terminal had already been accepted by the tribunal concerned.
Ravi said the Centre would extend all support for the development of multi-model transport system in Kerala.
