KABUL (Pajhwok): The caretaker government has hiked the airport service fee for domestic and international flights, a newspaper reported on Monday.
The Kabul Times said prices of international and domestic tickets had gone up by $20 and $5 respectively with effect from the current month.
Deputy Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Ghulam Jailani Wafa told the daily Kabul, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif airports had implemented the service fee spike.
He argued the passenger tax was aimed to cover the cost of ground services provided by the UAE-based firm GAAC. The tax, according to him, is common . . .
