New Delhi: Close on the heels of starting the process of transferring AAI-run Chennai and Lucknow airports to private parties, the government has now invited bidders for operating and managing the Kolkata, Guwahati and Jaipur airports.
As part of the process to allow private parties to pick up 100 per cent equity in operation and management of six airports through the public-private partnership (PPP) mode, the Airports Authority of India issued the Requests for Qualification (RFQ) documents for the three airports, official sources said.
They said the RFQ for Ahmedabad airport, which is among the six airports to be privatised, would be issued shortly. The move follows privatisation of major revenue-earning airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
The selected private parties would have to invest Rs 700 crore, Rs 600 crore and Rs 550 crore for carrying out a variety of works in both air and city sides of Kolkata, Guwahati and Jaipur airports respectively, the sources said.
