Supreme Court refuses to stay increase in airline ground handling charges

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today refused to stay government's order increasing royalty charges from private airlines for ground handling.
A bench headed by Justice H S Thakur declined to give a stay order on a petition filed by Federation of Indian Airlines which alleged that state-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) has increased the royalty by nearly three times during last one month.
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Federation, pleaded that it is a violation of apex court order which had directed the Centre to maintain status quo pertaining to ground handling charges while hearing its plea.
