Mumbai: In a relief to private business jet operators, the appellate tribunal of the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (Aera) has stayed the penal parking charges levied by the Mumbai airport.
The tribunal also has fixed January 4 as the next date for hearing in the case, a release by the Business Aircraft Operator's Association (BAOA), the umbrella body of private jet operators, said here today.
"This has come as a big relief for the private jet operators," association president Rohit Kapur said.
The Mumbai airport spokesman could not be reached for comments.
The association had approached the airports regulator, challenging the "unilateral" decision of the Mumbai airport to impose penalty on business jets, ranging between Rs 1,000 and Rs 15,000 per hour, for overstaying and extended use of the parking bays this July.
The Mumbai airport has 28 parking bays being used by 70-90 private jets.
