Private role in non-metro airport modernisation

New Delhi: The government has decided to involve private companies in developing hotels, retail spaces at 35 non-metro airports, which will soon be modernised.
The government will entrust the job of air-side developments to the state-run Airports Authority of India and take on partners from among private bidders to develop city- side facilities like retail malls and hotels.
AAI has asked Washington-based Louis Beger Group Inc and Delhi-headquartered Intercontinental Consultancy and Technocrats to prepare a technical and economic feasibility report for the development of non-metro airports.
AAI has also asked consultant Capital Fortune to study the cargo and passenger potential of these airports.
Reports are being prepared for Tiruchirapalli, Indore, Bhopal, Nagpur, and Visakhapatnam too.
