India, New Delhi: With the discontinuation of the development fee being charged from each passenger for the past several years, flying out of IGI Airport here has got cheaper from today.

Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the joint venture company which runs the IGI airport, was allowed to levy Rs 100 per flight as Development Fee (DF) from passengers flying on domestic routes and Rs 600 from those flying to international destinations. The airports tariff regulator Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) had in Feb. issued an order directing DIAL to discontinue DF from May 1, after having allowed it to levy DF through a Dec. 2012 order. (Agencies)
