Airport authorities said the UDF has been revised for domestic and international flights and will apply from April 16 to August 16.
Air ticket prices for passengers flying out of the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru are set to increase for four months from April 16 onwards, as the User Development Fee (UDF) at the airport is being revised. According to airport officials, the UDF is being revised based on an Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) amendment, which was issued on April 4. The UDF for domestic departures will be revised from Rs. 139 to Rs. 306 while the UDF for international departures will increase from Rs. 558 to Rs. 1226. The revised charges will be applicable from April 16 to August 16, 2019 after which the UDF charges will revert to the earlier rates. "This incremental increase in charges would provide BIAL much needed relief as we are in the midst of a massive Rs. 13,000 crore capacity expansion to cater to the stupendous growth of the aviation sector in India. We are thankful to TDSAT, AERA and the government of Karnataka for their continued support for BIAL’s huge infrastructure outlay," said Hari Marar, MD & CEO of Bengaluru International Airport (BIAL). The additional funds collected will be used to fund infrastructure expansion projects in the Bengaluru airport. "'As mandated by AERA, the money generated from the incremental increase in UDF, during these four months, will be deposited in a separate bank account and will be used only to fund the ongoing infrastructure expansion," Hari added.
