Areas of turbulence
The Bangalore airport has refused to do away with the User Development Fee (UDF) for domestic passengers and has instead proposed a reduced user development fee of Rs 240 plus taxes for domestic passengers and Rs 520 plus taxes for international passengers until May 31. Subsequently, the fee will be as per the concession agreement:
Rs 675 plus taxes for domestic passenger and Rs 955 plus taxes for international passengers.
Distance will be the other hiccup. The new airport is considerably away from the city.
Passengers will have to spend more money and time to get to the new airport.
