New Delhi: Passengers planning to fly in and out of Delhi "or even transiting through IGI Airport" after June 15 should brace themselves to shell out an extra amount anywhere between Rs 360 and Rs 1,400 as a new charge called user development fee (UDF).
The Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) has requested Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) to announce airport charge hike at IGI at the earliest and make the same applicable from June 15.
"We have requested for an early announcement of the tariff order and making it applicable from June 15. Apart from the financial losses we are suffering now, the other reason for this request is that people who are booking tickets to fly to, from or via Delhi after the date from which the new order would be applicable will have to line up to pay the new UDF at airport counters. So the earlier the order is announced, the new charge can be factored in by airlines and travel portals to avoid the hassle of lining up at IGI," said a DIAL official.
