AirAsia pulls out of Hyderabad airport over increased levies

Some $7 billion ('31,640 crore) is being invested in development of new metro airports in the country.

"In India, if an airline pulls out of a new airport, I'd blame the airport. Why invest in infrastructures to attract new business if you price them out...? It's a total no-brainer. If you price airlines out, who will bear the airport costs of development etc?" said Ahmad.
