In a bid to monetise 759 acres of land near eight major airports, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to develop them in a way to facilitate private companies to establish warehouses and hotels/restaurants.
Sources said the money generated would be ploughed back to develop airport infrastructure in unconnected and under-served areas. They added the AAI had identified land parcels of airports for city side development, which include “145 acres near Kolkata airport, 45 acres each near Amritsar airport and Bhubaneswar airport, 35 acres near Jaipur airport, 60 acres near Varanasi airport, 217 acres near Lucknow airport, 80 acres near Raipur airport and 117 acres near Tirpuati airport.
