According to the Department of Financial Services, a productive and robust civil aviation industry is essential for the nation’s economic growth. In order for the industry to overcome the current cash flow problems, it was stated that the improvements had been made to provide the necessary collateral-free liquidity at competitive interest rates.
According to the ministry, all other qualifying terms and condition parameters outlined in the ECLGS operational guidelines would continue to be valid.
The ECLGS was extended in March through March 2023. In May 2020, during the COVID-19 epidemic, a programme was announced to assist different sectors in obtaining loans at a reduced rate. The plan was altered numerous times, and the deadline was also extended, to meet the needs of the various sectors.
