NEW DELHI: Flying out from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital will soon become cheaper, with regulator AERA directing the airport operator to discontinue levying development fee from May 1.
Currently, a domestic passenger boarding a plane from IGIA has to shell out Rs 100 per flight towards Development Fee (DF) while the amount is Rs 600 for international flyers.
Citing the average monthly collection of Rs 30 crore as DF, the regulator said the total sanctioned DF amount of Rs 3,415.35 crore is likely to be recovered by April 30, 2016.
“The DF of Rs 100 per embarking domestic passenger and Rs 600 per embarking international passenger… At IGI Airport shall be continued only till April 30, 2016,” Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) said. (AGENCIES)
