New Delhi: The Comptroller and Auditor General today termed a request from the Bangalore airport operator to the government to waive more than Rs 9 crore owed by the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines as "untenable" and an "undue favour".
The CAG also censured the government for failing to ensure that the airport operator recovered over Rs 17 crore from various airlines.
According to a concession agreement between the ministry of civil aviation (MoCA) and Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), the latter collects a security fee or passenger service fee through various airlines. This fee is deposited in an escrow account.
BIAL also has to ensure realisation of dues from airlines regularly and furnish copies of audited accounts to MoCA.
However, as per the CAG report submitted today, as of March 2014, the amount outstanding from various airlines was at Rs 16.77 crore, which increased to Rs 17.44 crore by March, 2016.
