[Desi Masala] Mumbai Airport

*Dear Friends,*

*Please keep an extra 600 Rs with you when you travel from 1st April at
Mumbai Airport . Please forward to all your relatives & friends so that they
dont face any problems at the airport....*

*Passengers to pay for Mumbai airport modernisation *
Mumbai airport on Friday became the fourth airport in the country to be
allowed to levy a development fee from passengers to bridge the shortfall in
funds for modernising the facility.

The government approved collection of Rs 100 from outbound domestic
passengers and Rs 600 from international passengers from April 1. The fee
would be in force for four years, but be reviewed after six months.

The Mumbai airport modernisation project cost is pegged at Rs 9,802 crore
and the Mumbai International Airport Ltd has been allowed to raise up to Rs
1,543 crore through the development fee. However, if the project cost
escalates beyond Rs 9,802 crore, MIAL would have to tap other fund sources.

New airports in Hyderabad and Bangalore have been charging a development and
DIAL, which manages the New Delhi airport, too was allowed to charge the
development fee, although the move has come in for criticism from global
airlines' body IATA.

Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel had yester on Thursday said such fees
could be imposed even at airports being modernised by the state-owned
Airports Authority of India. The massive aviation infrastructure required in
India "cannot be made on such a scale without the contribution from
passengers and other stakeholders, " he had said. - PTI
