That fits with the fact that there is a dearth of flights into ATQ.
thats strange, as I thought all airports in India under government ownership which I suspect ATQ is should have subsidised/standard across the board landing costs to promote air links, but don't know why with ATQ they have different rates lets say compared with DEL which I heard were significantly lower, if that was the primary reason SQ pulled out (not due to light loads in J) than I doub't we'll see SLK or any other carrier enter ATQ, which is a shame as I thought well the Y loads were top notch on SQ, as clearly it was a family/holiday market segment, not significantly a business market or they could have just like how airlines do, sold as all Y class on their 772's they utilised.
