Adani-owned Ahmedabad airport’s plan to hike fees has airlines fuming
Adani Group-owned Ahmedabad airport’s proposal to increase user charges for charter flights during the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup has sparked a backlash from major airlines, prompting them to seek government intervention, according to a report by The Economic Times (ET).
The airport has raised ground handling charges by more than tenfold.
The airlines have asserted that this sudden hike is illegal and will render charter operations unaffordable.
On Friday evening, the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) issued a notice stating that levying charges and tariffs not authorised by the authority is illegal.
