New Delhi: A day after the civil aviation ministry announced a revision of fares, Director General of Civil Aviation, K Gohain, has been asked to look into the matter and file a report on April 17.
On Monday, the Government had decided to double airport charges at peak hours, which comprises of charges that that airlines pay for parking and landing facilities.
So, the flights between 0700 and 1000 hrs (IST) and between 1800 and 2200 hrs (IST) will be more expensive compared to afternoon and night flights.
The charges will remain normal in the afternoon, while airport charges for night flights between midnight and 0500 hrs, IST will cost 50 per cent less.
The measure is aimed at reducing the rush during peak hours but will result in the airlines raising fares. It will be applicable in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore till the airports are upgraded.
The charges are likely to come into effect by March end.
