Mumbai, April 7 In a major relief to airlines, the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) announced on Tuesday a 25 per cent reduction in landing and parking charges across major airports.
This reduction, which comes into immediate effect, will apply to all domestic flights for a period of three months, AERA said in an order.
The tariff follows the government's directive to the authority in light of the ongoing West Asia crisis, the order stated.
"Landing and parking charges (part of the aeronautical tariff) at all major airports shall be reduced by 25 per cent from the prevailing tariff. This reduction shall take effect immediately and will apply to all domestic flights for a period of three months," AERA stated in the order.
"After careful consideration, the Authority has decided to implement the directions issued by the government," it added.
