Noida International Airport: Passengers flying from Noida International Airport will now have to pay User Development Fee (UDF). Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) has fixed the charges for the new airport.
These will be the charges
Passengers will be charged Rs 980 UDF on international departure. This fee will be Rs 420 on international arrival. Domestic passengers will have to pay Rs 490 UDF and incoming passengers will have to pay Rs 210 UDF. These charges are much less than the demand of the airport operator. The company had demanded Rs 1,380 UDF on international flights and Rs 690 UDF on domestic flights. This means that a passenger making a round trip from Noida to Dubai will have to pay a total of Rs 1,400 UDF. At the same time, a domestic round trip like Mumbai will attract a UDF of Rs 700.
Landing charges for airlines
Along with passengers, airlines will also have to pay hefty charges. Landing charges have been fixed on the basis of the weight of the aircraft.
Rs 725 per 1,000 kg for domestic flights
Rs 1,088 per 1,000 kg for international flights
For example, on an aircraft like Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 weighing 80,000 kg, the landing fee for a domestic flight will be around Rs 58,000 and the fee for an international flight will be around Rs 87,000. At the same time, this cost will be more on larger aircraft like Boeing 777 or Airbus A350.
Noida Airport will start operations in 2025-26 (FY26). About 59.4 lakh passengers are expected to travel in the first year. This number is expected to reach 90.1 lakh in FY27, 1.19 crore in FY28, 1.54 crore in FY29 and 1.86 crore by FY30. A total of 6.1 crore passengers are expected to pass through the airport in five years, including about 5.8 crore domestic and 31 lakh international passengers.
