Private operators don’t have to pay revenue share to AAI for 3 months

New Delhi: The Airports Authority of India has offered private airport operators a moratorium on payment of revenue share to the state-owned firm for three months ending June.

“These are difficult times and AAI can only provide them with a three-month exemption from payment of revenue share till June,” said a senior aviation ministry official, who did not want to be identified. “Any further decision on revenues share, if need be, will be taken later.” While the moratorium for Mumbai airport has already come, Delhi airport’s moratorium request will come in after the airport operator’s board approves this proposal and sends it to the government, officials said.

A senior executive at Delhi International Airport (DIAL) said the company is not able to fetch a board resolution as convening a board meeting is becoming difficult due to pandemic-related restrictions.
