You may have to pay up to Rs 300 extra for flying out of IGI
NEW DELHI: Flying out of the national capital could soon cost more with Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) planning to impose a new charge on passengers to survive the Covid-induced downturn in travel. DIAL has sought regulatory nod to charge Rs 200 and Rs 300 from each domestic and international outbound passenger, respectively. It has asked Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) to allow this till March 2024.
Separately, DIAL had last week petitioned the aviation ministry to “direct” AERA to factor in the Covid impact on its revenue while determining the airport’s tariffs, failing which it had warned of a “serious cash-flow deficit situation”, which would make it “difficult to continue airport operations”.
