Indian Airline operators import airplanes from abroad for carrying out their operations and when some fault appears in Aircrafts or its parts, the Airline operators send the same abroad for repairs. Once the Aircraft or its parts are repaired, the same are re-imported into India and subject to ‘Duty of Customs’ on the value of repair cost, insurance and freight.
