Mumbai airport seeks user levy on domestic flyers, and 3.5x hike for international travel
Business Standard
|March 19, 2025
Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which operates the airport in the country's financial capital, has proposed introducing a "user development fee" (UDF) of ₹325 it charges every departing domestic passenger, and increasing the UDF for international passengers to ₹650, more than three times the present rate.
As a balancing measure, MIAL, run by the Adani group, said it had proposed reducing aircraft landing and parking charges by about 35 per cent.
The tariff proposal, submitted to the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA), aims to fund infrastructure and technological enhancement at the airport.
