Petitioning: Mumbai Airport Authorities

Petitioner: Petition Voice started on March 27, 2009

Recently the state government gave its nod for a development fee on air passengers traveling out of Mumbai airport, who will have to pay Rs 100 per trip for domestic flights and Rs 600 for flights abroad.



In the case of the developers of Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, the GVK-led consortium, the development fee levy comes into effect from April 1 for a period of four years, an official statement said. In the wake of decreasing ATF prices, such decision doesn't make too much sense to the common man.



Mumbai Airport Authorities are requested to either explain the logic behind the decision or else retract the decision and not burden the common man with all sorts of sundry fees.
