New Delhi sources have stated that Pa who is flying out of Delhi will now have to pay less with the aviation regulatory body slashing the user development fee (UDF) on domestic as well international flights from the national capital. It was stated that domestic passengers departing from Indira Gandhi International airport will now have to pay a UDF of Rs 10, as against the levy of Rs 275-550 earlier. International passengers will have to pay Rs 45, down from Rs 635-1,270.
Sources have stated that both domestic and international passengers landing in Delhi will not have to pay the UDF anymore. This translates into a saving of Rs 233-466 for the former and that of Rs 518-1,048 for the latter.
Meanwhile the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the country's
aviation watchdog notified the revised tariff order today and moreover Delhi
International Airport Limited (DIAL), the joint venture company which operates
IGIA, had sought 42.6% hike in airport charges. Currently Airports Economic
Regulatory Authority had ordered this steep cut in December 2015 but its
implementation was pending because the Delhi airport operator had approached
the court against the slashing of charges.
