The equipment mainly consists of tow tractors for towing the Aeroplance to the SEZ from the Airport and is essential for carrying out the authorized operations by the unit. The request was considered in the meeting of UAC held on 09.12.2011 and was rejected as there was no specific provision in the SEZ Rules for allowing such activity.

(i) The equipment will go outside the SEZ gate up to 4 Km range within the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport gate to bring the Aircraft from Airport Apron and to leave the aircraft up to the run way after service. Absence of permission will cause considerable delay in bringing the aircraft in to the hanger and also sending the aircraft after service, will badly affect the Turn Around Time (TAT) of the Aircraft.

(ii) Changeover of towing equipment up to the gate and inside the gate may damage t he aircraft and result delay in TAT. (iii) Since this specialized equipment can be used only towing of the aircraft will be kept idle if not allowed and make the company to incur huge losses.
(iv) Keep record of the same will be maintained with the supervision of the custom official present in the SEZ (v) The unit to give an undertaking to the affect that the equipment will not be used for any other commercial purpose.

The appeal is placed before the BoA for consideration.
