Air ticket prices to and from Delhi to drop as DGCA slashes fees

Op India  

In some good news for travellers, flights having Delhi’s Domestic and International airports as either source or destination would now see their ticket prices slashed. In the new tariff structure which became effective from 7th July, the User Development Fee charged by the Delhi airport would go down to Rs 10 and Rs 45 for Domestic and International flights originating at Delhi. This price reduction is a result of a long battle between the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India and GMR Infrastructure’s Delhi International Airport Limited over airport charges. The AERA had passed an order to reduce these airport charges back in December 2015, which couldn’t be implemented as DIAL went to the Delhi High Court, which ordered a stay on the revised charges until the issue was disposed off by AERA’s appellate panel. The Supreme Court took cognisance of the matter and on 3rd July vacated the stay order by the Delhi High Court which allowed the lower rates to kick in.
