Airports to start collecting parking charges from tonight

Free car parking services provided by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) will come to an end from Monday midnight at all airports.

In the wake of currency-crunch due to the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes, the AAI has evolved a digital payment mechanism at all of its operational airports and will commence accepting car parking charges through e-payment transactions using Debit/Credit Cards, Paytm, freecharge and other digital payment methods from Monday midnight, said an AAI statement.

Now, with effect from November 29 (00:01 Hrs.), AAI resumes charges/fee for car parking, which it had temporarily withdrawn from the midnight of November14, through e-payment transactions at all its operational airports across the nation and hope that air travellers and airport users do get the required facilitations at the airports.
