It has been brought down to Rs. 69
Travelling from the Chennai airport will get slightly cheaper from May as the User Development Fee (UDF) that passengers pay has been reduced.
From next month, both international and domestic passengers from Chennai airport will pay only Rs. 69. Now, international and domestic passengers pay Rs. 667 and Rs. 166 respectively as UDF. Passengers pay this fee as part of their ticket and the fee is levied by airport operators to recover the investment they have made for providing services. In the last three years, AAI collected Rs. 109 crore (2013-14), Rs. 238 crore (2014-15) and Rs. 250 crore (2015-16) as UDF from passengers. Recently, the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority — which regulates tariffs at airports — had a discussion with various stakeholders of the airport and the Airports Authority of India on this issue and revised the fee.
