New Delhi: West Bengal's Left Front Government has favoured roping in the Airports Authority of India for revamping the Kolkata airport and was intent on keeping private developers at bay, senior CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said on Wednesday.
"The State Government would like the AAI to go ahead with implementing the project... We hope that the AAI would take it up as a challenge and accomplish the task even before Delhi and Mumbai (projects)," he told reporters here.
AAI has already selected the design presented by French firm, Aeroport du Paris that designed the Charles de Gaulle airport, out of a global tender.
Yechury, who is also the Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, said that state Chief Secretary A K Deb has written to Civil Aviation Secretary Ajay Prasad in this regard.
