MUMBAI:
Business aircraft owners, who have been protesting against increase in aircraft
parking charges introduced by the Mumbai airport operator four months ago, won
some relief on Friday after a tribunal put a stay on the decision and brought
back the pre-hike parking rates.
MIAL's spokesperson was unreachable for comment.
In their application before the tribunal, Business Aircrafts Operators Association (BAOA) said the parking charges form part of aeronautical services and an increase in tariff for aeronautical services falls within the jurisdiction of the regulator, Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA). Though MIAL had approached AERA with the hike proposal, it did not wait for the regulator's decision, the BAOA release said. MIAL counsel sought time to seek instructions in the matter. The appellate tribunal directed the parties to maintain status quo on the parking charges.
