Air India and SpiceJet have outstanding dues of Rs 2,350 crore and Rs 185 crore respectively to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) as on September this year, Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said on Monday.
“Some airlines have defaulted on clearance of their dues,” Singh said in written response to a question in Rajya Sabha.
The AAI follows up with the airlines regularly for recovery of dues according to its credit policy, he mentioned.
The AAI owns 125-odd airports across the country. Airlines have to regularly pay various charges such as landing charges and parking charges to the AAI to operate aircraft from its airports.
