Bengaluru: Flying out from the Bengaluru airport will be costlier by a massive 120 percent from Tuesday following the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (Aera) allowing it to revise upwards the user development fee (UDF) for four months.
The nation's third busiest airport after New Delhi and Mumbai plans to use the additional fee to fund its expansion.
"With the Aera order coming into effect from April 16, the UDF for domestic departures will be revised to Rs 306 from Rs 139 while for international departures it will be Rs 1,226 from Rs 558 earlier," Bengaluru airport authority said in a statement on Monday.
The new charges for domestic and international travel translate into an increase of 120 per cent and 119 per cent, respectively, it added.
The revised fee is applicable for tickets procured between April 16 and August 15, it said adding the increased fee will be rolled back from August 16.
The Rs 13,000 crore second phase expansion entails construction of a new terminal, a second runway, access roads, and a multi-modal transport hub, company said, adding, these work is scheduled to be completed by March 2021.
"This incremental increase in charges will provide us with the much-needed relief as we are in the midst of a Rs 13,000-crore capacity expansion," said Hari Marar, managing director and chief executive, Bangalore International Airport Ltd.
