The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority warned airport operators against imposing non-aeronautical charges.The warning notice was issued after Adani Group increased charges levied on charter flights at Ahmedabad airport during the ongoing ICC World Cup.
These arbitrary charges were levied at the Adani-run airports in Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Jaipur, under the heads of ‘decongestion charges’ and ‘non-aero ancillary charge per passenger. The issue has been a grave concern for charter users, operators and aggregators.
