Airlines oppose fee hike by Mangaluru Airport
Airlines have opposed Adani-owned Mangaluru airport’s proposal to increase user fees, saying that it would impact their recovery from the damage caused by the pandemic.
The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), which includes IndiGo, SpiceJet and Go First, suggested that instead the airport increase its revenue from non-aeronautical sources and cross-subsidise passenger fee, and landing and parking charges for airlines. According to the tariff model, 30% of non-aero revenue is used to cross-subsidise and lower the charges on passengers and airlines.
