Private jet owners have approached aviation tribunal challenging the recent approval of 50-time hike in penal parking charges by the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA).
Admitting the plea of the Business Aircrafts Operators Association (BAOA), the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority Appellate Tribunal (AERAAT) issued notice to the AERA asking to file its reply.
On January 15, the AERA had approved 50-time hike in penal parking charges proposed by Mumbai airport operator MIAL retrospectively from July 1, 2012.
The tribunal also directed the MIAL to furnish an undertaking within a week stating that it will deposit the amount collected through increased parking charges in a separate account till the outcome of the BAOA's plea.
