The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) is unlikely to extend the 25% discount on landing and parking fees for domestic flights at major Indian airports. The relief, initially introduced on April 7 for three months due to the West Asian crisis, has expired without new orders from the Ministry. The Association of Private Airport Operators (APAO) has urged the government not to extend the discount and requested permission to collect full fees to recover financial losses. This move is expected to increase operational costs for airlines. https://www.punjabitribuneonline.com/news/nation/airport-parking-fees-landing-and-parking-fee-exemptions-at-major-airports-likely-to-end/
