Hours after imposing the new rule, the Bengaluru airport authorities revoked the new fee structure, hours after it was notified. As per the new fee structure, private and commercial vehicles were to pay a certain amount to enter the airport premises. The development comes hours after it was notified that the travel to and from Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru would become expensive beginning Monday.
As per the new law, Private vehicles (whiteboard) would be required to pay a fee of up to Rs 150 for 7-14 minutes. Anything below seven minutes for private vehicles would not be charged. It would increase to Rs 300 if these vehicles exceeded the seven-minute mark. Buses would be charged an entry fee of Rs 600, while tempo travellers would have to pay Rs 300.
The new charge board that was installed at the airport read that unattended vehicles and vehicles staying beyond 15 minutes would be towed to the nearest police station at the owner's cost. The new fee structure was applicable at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
