PPP in Airport Infrastructure
Background
Indian airports were managed by Civil Aviation Department,
Government of India, till the creation of International
Airports Authority of India (IAAI) in 1972 and National
Airports Authority (NAA) in 1986.
In 1995 Airports Authority of India (AAI) was established
by merging both IAAI and NAA by an Act of Parliament –
The Airports Authority of India Act in 1994 – for better and
efficient management of all airports in India by a single
Authority.
At Present -
AAI manages 128 airports which includes:
- 15 International airports
- 8 Custom airports
- 25 Civil Enclaves
- 80 Domestic airports

Thus,
• Increased traffic and cargo growth has led to congestion/ saturation at
different airports in India , e.g. Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad,
Kolkata, Chennai etc.
• Hence, country requires
– New Airports
– Expansion of capacity at existing airports
– Induction of Technology for efficient handling of Passenger and
cargo.
– Better Management Practices
• For all this additional funds to the tune of Rs. 40,000 crores + Rs. 454
crores for airports in North East are required (details shown in next slide).
– The revenue surplus generated by AAI in 2005-06 was Rs. 812
crores.
– The annual requirement of funds in the future is expected to be much
more than the AAI can generate.
