New Delhi: The Air Intelligence Wing of the Customs Department would be "closely monitoring" India's first civil aviation exhibition and conference, 'India Aviation 2008', starting on Wednesday in Hyderabad.
"The show would attract many potential private jets buyers. We will monitor all the developments happening at the air show as part of our intelligence gathering to prevent import of aircraft by evasion of duty through misrepresentation of facts," a top Finance Ministry official who didn't wish to be identified said. The move comes after a number of aircraft imported by various top corporate houses were seized by Customs Preventive as part of its investigation into the approximately Rs 8000 crore 'aircraft import scam'.
As per the plan, a team has been formed to gather all relevant information of orders placed by corporates excluding that done by Scheduled operators.
Aviation experts point out that most of the big airlines firms are unlikely to place any new orders this time round since major orders have already been placed. Hence, the focus would be on small operators and corporate houses. Some of the aircarft which would be on static or flying display, include business jets manufactured by various global leaders, Bell Helicopters, DragonFly, Cessnas among others.
Around 150 exhibitors from leading aviation and allied industries from 18 countries have confirmed participation in the airshow.
