Bangalore: By next April, passengers flying out of the Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (KIAB) could pay a higher User Development Fee (UDF) as the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority is reviewing a new fee proposal by the airport's operators. The Bengaluru International Airport was formally renamed KIAB here on Saturday.
"We have submitted a proposal to the regulator and, hopefully, in the next two to three months, it'll announce the new UDF," said GV Sanjay Reddy, MD, BIAL, the promoters and operators of KIAB. Reddy refused to divulge details of the proposed hike, but added the regulator could either agree or disagree with the proposal.
Currently, while each departing domestic passenger pays Rs 260 per head as UDF, an international passenger is charged Rs 1,070. These are ad-hoc fees that BIAL has been charging since the airport began operations in May 2008.
