Mihan India Limited (MIL), current operator of the airport, had submitted city airport's first multi-year tariff (MYT) for a period of five years with Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) on November 21, 2016.
After technical validation, AERA had released consultation paper on September 1 this year, and invited suggestions and objections on it till September 29. Now, AERA is about to pronounce the order soon.
In its consultation paper, AERA has proposed to hike aeronautical charges, including landing, parking and housing charges of aircraft, by 30%. Therefore, the air fare is likely to increase by 30%.
Actually, air fare will increase by over 30% if one adds UDF. The airline companies will recover UDF from passengers in their tickets and deposit it with MIL.
