AAI to bid for Greater Noida airport, compete with partner GMR
State-run Airports Authority of India (AAI) and GMR group, the joint venture partners running the Delhi airport, could turn competitors as the bidding process for the Greater Noida airport begins.
Official sources said the AAI is in the process of taking legal opinion for placing its bid for the proposed international airport in the national capital region (NCR). It is also consulting the parent Civil Aviation Ministry on the plan and is confident of getting the go-ahead.
The Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) in which AAI holds 26 per cent stake is opposed to the idea of its partner tossing its hat in the ring. The GMR group-led firm has already secured a legal opinion supporting its stand.
