The Kerala High Court issued notices to the Centre and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Thursday on a writ petition filed by the Kerala government challenging the move by the AAI to grant the right of operation, management and development of the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport to Adani Enterprises Ltd.
The State government contended that the AAI is bound to accept the proposal of the State government, submitted through the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd (KSIDC), for concession for operation, development and management of the airport on a par with the amount offered by the Adani Enterprises. It added that the government-owned KSIDC was entitled to preferential consideration over Adani Enterprises in public interest.
