IATA's remark on Delhi airport tariff hike exaggeration: DIAL

New Delhi: Delhi airport operator today termed as "a huge exaggeration" the claims of IATA that hike in the airport tariff will burden the airlines with $400 million.
"This claim of a $400 million is a huge exaggeration on the part of IATA. Assuming the airlines pass on the entire cost to the passenger (as is normal practise), DIAL's increased yield (and hence the maximum possible cost to an airline) is Rs 102 per passenger," a spokesperson of Delhi International Airport Limited said.
The Director General and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) CEO Tony Tyler had said the increase will add over $400 million in operating costs for airlines providing connectivity to India through Delhi.
