<The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, in
its report on the functioning of private airports and related issues, has
found certain areas that need immediate attention, including the fact that
passengers at greenfield airports have to pay exorbitant prices for food
items...Besides there is no canteen for the employees and staff working at
these airports," ... The Committee has not only mentioned that the parking
charges for vehicles are heavy at these airports, but also expressed
surprise at finding that, at Hyderabad, a vehicle entering the airport to
drop or pick up a passenger has to pay Rs 35 per trip....The Committee is
also of the "considered view" that the HAL and Begumpet airports be made
operational for domestic civil aviation.>
