The incentives offer a full waiver of airport charges to airlines resuming operations from 15 July to 31 August 2020, which is applicable from 15 July to 27 October 2020. For airlines resuming operations from 1 September to 27 October 2020, a 75% discount is offered, which is applicable from 1 September to 27 October 2020.
