New Delhi: A massive 12.4% slump in domestic passenger traffic in September - over the same month last year - has set off alarm bells in the government. Worried about the potentially disastrous impact it could have on already ailing airlines, the aviation ministry will ask the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) to review airport charges as high user development fees levied on passengers is being seen as a deterrent to flying.
"The user development fee (UDF), especially at Delhi airport, is quite high and needs to be reviewed. We will make a reference to AERA for that," said a highly placed source in the ministry. Airlines, foreign and domestic, consider Delhi the most expensive airport in Asia.
