Male allow GMR to collect airport development, insurance fee from passengers

Bangalore: Maldives authorities have allowed Male International Airport operator GMR Infrastructure to collect airport development and insurance charges from passengers, nearly a month after a local court barred the Bangalore-based company from doing so.
In December, a Male civil court had stopped GMR from collecting airport development charge (ADC), saying it was identical to existing airport service charges being collected from passengers.
GMR, which is overseeing the renovation of the airport, had earlier tried to include ADC in the airline ticket price, but the International Air Transport Association (IATA) had disallowed it.
