New Delhi, Apr 26 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Tuesday stopped the Delhi and Mumbai airports from charging passengers of Airport Development Fee (ADF)
The amount - Rs. 200 for domestic flights and Rs. 1300 for international flights - was introduced in 2009.
A bench of Justices Cyriac Joseph and A K Patnaik set aside the policy of airport developers by which passengers departing from Delhi airport had to pay a fee of 200 rupees for domestic flights and 1,300 rupees for international flights while fliers departing from Mumbai were charged 100 rupees for domestic and 600 rupees for international flights.
The bench set aside the Delhi High Court's order, which had upheld levying of ADF.
The court passed the order on a petition filed by an NGO, contending that the fee was illegal, as it was not approved by Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA). (ANI)
