MIAL seeks user levy on domestic flyers, and 3.5x hike for int'l travel

To balance the impact of the increased UDF, Adani Group-led MIAL said it has also proposed a reduction of approximately 35 per cent in aircraft landing and parking charges

Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which operates the airport in the country’s financial capital, has proposed introducing a “user development fee” (UDF) of ₹325 it charges every departing domestic passenger, and increasing the UDF for international passengers to ₹650, more than three times the present rate.

 

As a balancing measure, MIAL, run by the Adani group, said it had proposed reducing aircraft landing and parking charges by about 35 per cent.

 

The tariff proposal, submitted to the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA), aims to fund infrastructure and technological enhancement at the airport.

 

The AERA will soon take a final decision
