New Delhi: Days after the state-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) asked the government not to reduce tariff at Delhi airport, an international airline body has called it a short-sighted approach which will affect traffic growth.
“It is unfortunate and disappointing that AAI has taken a very short-term view on the Delhi charges by contesting against the proposal of the independent regulator to reduce these inflated charges,” said Conrad Clifford, regional vice president, Asia Pacific, International Air Transport Association (IATA).
According to Clifford, the aviation industry is an economic enabler and a reduction in Delhi’s airport charges would help to stimulate traffic growth.
“DIAL (Delhi International Airport Limited) and AAI benefited from the decision in 2012 of the independent regulator in the tariff escalation for Delhi proposed in the first control period,” Clifford said.
