Naidu discusses uniform, tariff-linked performance mechanism for airports

New Delhi, Apr 30 (PTI) Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Thursday reviewed the progress made by regulator AERA in formulating a uniform, tariff-linked performance oversight mechanism for major airports.

India is one of the world’s fastest growing domestic civil aviation markets and more airports are being planned to meet the rising air traffic demand.

“Clear directions have been given to AERA to ensure that passenger facilitation is embedded within airport charges framework in a transparent way while also encouraging airports for operational excellence,” Naidu said in a post on X.

The minister chaired a review meeting to assess the progress made by the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) in formulating a uniform, tariff-linked

performance oversight mechanism for the major airports.

“As Indian airports evolve into integral nodes of regional connectivity as well as global transit hubs, it is imperative that service standards be benchmarked in an accountable manner,” he said. PTI RAM MR
