Passengers’ rants (डींग/शेखी) or raves about services provided at India’s major airports could
soon actually make an impact with the airports’ economic regulator ( नयामक) putting in place a
new system to monitor (उपदे शक) the ground operations and service standards.
The carrot for the airport operators: those with high ratings for services could get to charge
higher tariffs as an incentive ( लोभन). The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA)
that came into existence in 2008, has so far been focused on its responsibility of setting airport
tariffs, but will now assess (आँकना) their performance on the ground for 16 major airports as
well.
The regulator will rate airports based on parameters (मानद ड) such as cost efficiency, entry
time, security clearance, check-in and boarding facility, among other services at airports. A
critical component (मौ लक) of the rating would be passenger feedback ( तपु ि ट).
“As a part of our mandate (जनादे श), we have a major item we have not looked at so far —
setting and monitoring performance standards. We want to make airports attractive and efficient
(कायकुशल) and plan to monitor the service levels of airports,” AERA Chairman S
Machendranathan told The Hindu. Airports in India are now ranked by the Airport Council
International’s Airport Service Quality surveys every quarter.
