Flying out of Delhi airport to be costlier from December 1

From December 1 onwards passengers flying out of Delhi airport will have to pay more by paying some Rs 77 per ticket, with regulator AERA approving revision in service charges. Currently Rs 10 is levied on domestic tickets and Rs 45 on international tickets by the airport operator DIAL as passenger service fee.

There are also revisions to certain aeronautical charges, according to an order issued by the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA).

The revised charges would be applicable from December 1. The hike in charges is expected to have a minimal impact on average domestic fares.

As per the order, dated November 19, the regulator has approved a rate of Rs 77 for tickets purchased with Indian rupees towards facilitation component of the Passenger Service Fee (PSF).
