New Delhi: It's a New Year bonanza for passengers flying from Delhi airport.
The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said that the excess money collected as Development Fee should be refunded to those who had booked their tickets before January 1, 2013 but whose travel was on or after the New Year.
This follows the airport cutting the Development Fee for departing passengers by 50 per cent from January 1.
Now, each passenger taking an international flight out of Delhi airport pays Rs 600 instead of Rs 1,200 and a domestic passenger Rs 100 instead of the Rs 200 he had to pay earlier.
The airline watchdog has “directed” the airlines to refund this excess amount collected by them.
