• Bad news for International passengers as they have to pay $ 28 as user development fee when the new Hyderabad International Airport start operation. According to sources, user development fee will be collected by the airlines and given to Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (HIAL). HIAL on his part would pass on this fee to the Indian Government.
