Chennai: Levying of User Development Fee (UDF) at Chennai airport may have been deferred but on Thursday, a few airlines continued to collect it.
Airline representatives said they were yet to receive a written communication from the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
On Wednesday, Union civil aviation minister Ajit Singh said UDF would not be levied at Chennai airport on domestic passengers, till March 31. Levy of UDF on international passengers was deferred indefinitely.
The minister made the announcement in response to a supplementary question in the Lok Sabha.
The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority had mandated that domestic travellers be charged UDF of Rs. 166 and international travellers, Rs. 667.
