After carrying out the the privatisation process for six major airports, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) is now all set to privatise another set of 20-25 airports in the second phase, reports The Economic Times.
Mohapatra also said that the 20-25 airports which would be taken up for privatisation will all be major airports with annual passenger traffic between 1-1.5 million.
The plan was made public by the AAI chairman, Guruprasad Mohapatra who previously oversaw the privatisation of six airports- Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Mangaluru, Guwahati, Jaipur and Thiruvananthapuram.
The six airports had been bid for under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model, with the Adani Group emerging as the highest bidder for all six airports, offering to take over their operation, management and development.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
