Delhi airport appeals against second tariff order which slashed user fees

Mumbai: The Delhi airport has appealed against Airport Economic Regulatory Authority’s (AERA) tariff order — passed last month — which cut user charges by 89 per cent. The second appeal has been filed even as its plea against the tariff order of 2012 is pending for the last four years.

In its December order, the AERA slashed the user development fee (UDF) levied on domestic and international passengers at Delhi airport to Rs 10 and Rs 45, respectively.

Also, arriving passengers will no longer be charged any UDF.

The AERA order for Delhi airport covers the second control period from 2014-19. However, the reduced charges will not take effect till appeals on the earlier tariff order are settled. Now, the Delhi airport has challenged the second control period order too at the AERA appellate tribunal (AERAAT).
