New Delhi: Fraport AG, the foreign partner in the GMR-led consortium, plans to moot a proposal for a regional rail connectivity and a high speed rail station or metro in its ‘detailed master plan’ for the modernisation of Delhi airport, Fraport AG senior manager Ansgar Sickert told FE.
Mr Sickert along with a team of five senior managers from Fraport, will be responsible for operations of the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), the joint venture company floated for Delhi airport.
According to Mr Sickert, the railway support system will help relieve congestion at the airport and at the same time increase its catchment area, particularly since Delhi has a high population density.
While the GMR-Fraport-led consortium signed the operations management development agreement with Airports Authority of India (AAI) early this month, physical transfer of Delhi airport has not happened as yet. In fact, the detailed master plan has also not been approved and finalised by the government so far.
