Flights to Patna, Madurai dearer?

New Delhi: The country's largest airport operator Airports Authority of India (AAI) has sought increase in landing and parking fees for airlines at its nearly 80 non-major airports, a move set to make flying expensive on regional routes.

The state-run AAI is likely to categorise the non-major airports into four categories based on annual passenger traffic handled by them and propose differentiated tariff for each class of airports.

Airport sector regulator Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) defines major airports as those having annual passenger throughput in excess of 1.5 million and determines tariff there.

Other airports are non-major airports and their tariff is determined by aviation ministry.
