# Pricing — MeghQuasar Charter Coordination

MeghQuasar is a facilitation layer. Charter pricing is determined by the operating carrier. Below are indicative price bands by aircraft category and corridor — final quotes provided per mission.

## How pricing works

- **Aircraft block hour rate** + fuel + handling + landing fees + crew duty + permits = total charter cost
- **Reservation hold**: ₹25,000 (refundable in full if operator does not confirm)
- **GST**: 18% on domestic India charters; 0% (export) on international missions billed under LUT
- **Final fare**: confirmed by operating carrier within 24 hours of request
- **Currency**: ₹ INR primary, USD/EUR/AED for international invoicing

## Air ambulance — indicative cost bands

| Mission type | Distance | Aircraft | Indicative ₹ INR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic India inter-hospital (e.g., Mumbai-Delhi) | ~1,200 km | ICU-equipped midsize | ₹18L–30L |
