British Airways will revisit India strategy

New Delhi: British Airways on Wednesday said an increase in airport charges at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in the national capital has forced it to revisit its India strategy. “The aviation industry is going through a difficult phase and after the hike in airport charges it has become more difficult to operate at the Delhi airport. Currently, the charges are too high,” Christopher Fordyce, regional commercial manager, South Asia, said.
“Keeping the hike in charges in mind, we are revisiting our strategy and assessing route profitability,” Fordyce said.
Following the IGI move, airport charges may be hiked in other domestic airports he said, adding this would be detrimental to the growth of the airline sector.
