User fee at capital airport from tomorrow

New Delhi: Users of the modernised airports at Thiruvananthapuram and Ahmedabad will have to pay a User Development Fee from next month.

Proposal approved

The Central government has approved a proposal of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to levy the fee at these airports, an official spokesperson said here on Friday.

While passengers travelling on domestic flights from Thiruvananthapuram would not have to pay the fee, those flying abroad would have to pay Rs.755 over and above the ticket price and taxes.

The fee would be effective from August 1.

In Ahmedabad, domestic passengers would pay Rs.110, while their international counterparts would have to pay Rs.415. The fee would be effective from August 16 there, the spokesperson said.

The AAI has already imposed the fee at several airports which it has developed so far. These include Amritsar (Rs.150 for domestic, Rs.910 for international), Udaipur (Rs.150 for domestic, nil for international travel), Tiruchirapalli (Rs.150 for domestic, Rs.360 for international) and Visakhapatnam (Rs.150 for domestic and nil for international travel). — PTI
