DIAL wants airport fee now, airlines seek time

New Delhi:The airport management is getting ready to start collecting airport development fees from December 1 but airlines have put their foot down on collecting this money from passengers who have already purchased tickets for travel on or after December 1. They are asking for the date to be pushed back by at least two months to February 1.
In a meeting with Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd (DIAL) on Friday, airlines said the collection of ADF was not their responsibility and that unless DIAL paid them Rs 50 per passenger, they would not take on "the management's dirty work".
Airline officials said the proposal to extend the period for charging ADF was cleared only on November 15 and it did not give them sufficient time to either warn passengers or bring about necessary changes in their ticketing system.
