Mumbai: A tribunal on Tuesday stayed the Bangalore airport's move to
raise landing and parking charges and offer discounts to carriers making
it their hub.
Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) has offered a 40 per cent discount on landing and parking charges to airlines headquartered in the city that kept most of their aircraft in the airport.
On an appeal by the Federation of Indian Airlines, a lobby group of private airlines, the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority Appellate Tribunal on Tuesday issued an order to maintain the existing charges.
Rival airlines claim the discounts offered will only benefit AirAsia, which has just started flights from its Bangalore hub to Goa and Chennai. AirAsia had earlier said it might consider shifting its headquarters from Chennai to Bangalore because the Tamil Nadu government was not offering any support.
