P.R. Sanjai of Mint says the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport is now charging fees for access to business jets. The airport says the fees are for security, but others say they are an inconvenience and threaten the privacy of executive conversations. Aircraft owners are no longer allowed to drive to their jets in their own vehicles.
“Now they have to pay Rs10,000 for each turnaround trip in a Mercedes that will pick them at gate number eight at the…Airport, which is about 150m from where the private jets are parked. The charges shrink to Rs8,000 if they choose to be ferried in a Toyota Camry.
If a chief executive wants an assistant to accompany him into the airport, he would have to shell out an additional Rs1,250 per hour. For two hours at the VIP lounge, they would need to spend Rs5,000, plus Rs2,500 for each additional hour.”
