IATA against different user fee for global, domestic travellers

New Delhi: The new greenfield airports should not charge different user development fee from domestic and international travelers and such charges should be regulated by a regulatory authority, global airlines body International Air Transport Association said on Tuesday.
"When domestic and international passengers are using the same facility, how can airports justify differential costs for passengers," IATA Corporate Communications Manager (Asia-Pacific) Albert Tjoeng told PTI here.
Also, he stressed that such charges should be monitored and regulated by an airport economic regulator so that the airport operators do not charge in excess.
He also wanted India to hasten the process of establishing the regulatory body. The Airport Economic Regulator Authority Bill is pending before Parliament.
