The Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL AVIATION
(Shri Jayant Sinha)
(a) to (c) National Civil Aviation Policy 2016 (NCAP) mandates that future tariff at all airports will be calculated on a hybrid till basis from 01.04.2016 to ensure uniformity and level playing field across various operators. Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) already determined tariff for major airports namely Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Trivandrum, Jaipur, Calicut, Goa, Pune, Srinagar, Cochin and Nagpur airports under Hybrid till.
(d) and (e) In the past, AERA had issued Order no. 13/2010-11 dated 12.01.2011 in which Single Till approach was adopted by the Authority. However, in order to ensure uniformity and level playing field across various operators, NCAP evisaged that tariffs at all airports are being calculated on a hybrid till basis.
