FROM JANUARY, NO AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT FEE FOR DELHI, MUMBAI PASSENGERS
New Delhi,India : The government has decided to abolish the airport development fee charged in Delhi and Mumbai.
The Civil Aviation Ministry said the fee will not apply from January 1.Domestic fliers pay Rs. 200 at Delhi, and Rs. 100 at Mumbai. International passengers are charged Rs. 1300 in Delhi and Rs. 600 in Mumbai.
In August, the national auditor or Comptroller and Auditor General had attacked the civil aviation ministry for allowing the Delhi airport consortium to charge passengers a development fee to help raise funds for the project.
The auditor said this was not part of the original contract. The CAG says Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) will get an undue benefit of over Rs. 3,400 crore from the development fee.
