Adani Group will take over the operations at the Mangalore Airport on October 31, clearing the decks for its further development through the public-private-partnership mode.
The Airports Authority of India, which currently operates the airport, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Adani Mangalore Airport Limited for provision of reserved services once the handover is completed by the end of this month.
The reserved services at the airport include provision for customs, immigration, plant and animal quarantine, health, weather-related services, and security.
Similar MoUs were also signed for Ahmedabad and Lucknow airports.
The AAI also signed separate agreements for provision of communication, navigation and surveillance and air traffic management services at the three airports.
