IATA concerned over high airport charges in India

New Delhi: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has expressed concern over the high user charges at Indian airports and burgeoning jet fuel prices in the country but hoped that corrective measures would be taken soon.
"We have worked very closely with the Government of India to work out measures to lower costs in the aviation sector. Still, the user charges are among the highest," Giovanni Bisignani, chief of IATA, the body of global airlines, told PTI.
In a teleconference from Montreal, he expressed hope that the user charges would be made compliant with the norms laid down by the UN affiliate International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
