BIAL in dire straits, revenue down 75%: CEO Hari Marar
Hit hard by Covid-linked flight disruptions, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has seen its revenues tumble.
In an exclusive interview, BIAL President and CEO Hari Marar explains how this will impact the Kempegowda International Airport’s future projects, dwells on the challenges ahead, and more.
Excerpts from the interview:
How has the pandemic affected BIAL’s business and future plans?
Airport revenues in April, May, and June were practically wiped out. Pre-Covid, we handled roughly three million passengers a month. Over the last six months, the total passenger number has not crossed 2.5 million as against the normal of 18 million.
