Ahmedabad: In a bid to attract more international airlines and enhance
connectivity, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has begun an
aggressive marketing activity for 29 non-metro airports, including
Ahmedabad and Surat. AAI is showcasing these selected airports to
attract domestic as well as international operators to begin their
operations from these locations.
"Enhanced air connectivity through no-frill airports is the upswing in the Indian civil aviation sector as this will not only give boost to the economic growth but will also facilitate availability of infrastructure in the sector," the civil aviation ministry has said in a statement.
Last month, AAI officials attended the 'World Routes Development Forum' conference in Chicago where they held talks with global airlines and told them that these 29 airports were being modernized to enhance air connectivity.
AAI also signed an agreement with US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) last week for development of Aviation Security Equipment Testing and Evaluation Programme which will also be implemented at Ahmedabad airport.
