NEW DELHI: As part of efforts to improve passenger amenities for flyers across the country, a Central government body, which is a tariff regulator for aeronautical services, the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) has proposed that airports be penalised with a 5 per cent cut in the User Development Fee they collect from passengers in case of any deficiency in service.

A consultation paper released on its website recently has proposed an audit by a third party into the services provided.
