NEW DELHI: Come July, a vacation to Goa will cost more if you choose to travel by air. Now flying out of Goa will be costlier from July 1 till next March and then the air ticket prices will get progressively more expensive every fiscal till April 2025.
This, as Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) has hiked Dabolim/Goa International Airport’s aeronautical charges — that are levied on airlines, which accordingly decide airfares — and user development fees (UDF) that are paid directly by flyers.
Coupled with, anyway, high airfares due to record high jet fuel prices and a weak rupee, this will mean a costlier trip to one of India’s most loved holiday paradises.
