Nacil, Cial lock horns over pending charges

Mumbai: Adispute over ground handling charges between Cochin International Airport Ltd (Cial) and National Aviation Co. of India Ltd (Nacil), which runs Air India, could impact margins of the company that built the international airport at Kochi.
Cial says Nacil, the ground handling agency at the airport, owes it about Rs45 crore, calculated on the original deal that the national carrier would charge private airlines Rs60,000 per flight.
Nacil says it is not bound to pay that amount because private airlines are paying it only Rs30,000-35,000 per flight. It adds that it has paid all dues till date based on the remittances received from carriers the company handled at the airport.
Cial may move court over the issue as it might wipe out the firm’s profits at the airport, said a person close to the development, who did not want to be identified.
