10 non-metro airport environs may be developed
The airports at 35 non-metro cities including those at Tiruchi, Kozhikode, Tirupati and Hubli could soon not only get modern terminal buildings, but also world-class hotels and restaurants around the airport.
The airports at 35 non-metro cities including those at Tiruchi, Kozhikode, Tirupati and Hubli could soon get modern terminal buildings, in addition to which, world-class hotels and restaurants may also come around the location.
This will become possible largely on account of the Government indicating on Friday that it would issue tenders inviting the private sector to participate in the city-side development of 10 non-metro airports within the next two months.
"We should come up with the proposals in the next 45-60 days. The interested parties can respond to these. Even as these proposals are put out, the Airports Authority of India is taking a number of steps to improve the facilities in secondary airports," the Civil Aviation Secretary, Mr Ashok Chawla, said.
