THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Airports Authority of India on Tuesday signed a concession agreement with Adani Group for three airports including Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. The agreement was signed even as a petition filed by the state government against the Centre’s decision to lease the airport to Adani Enterprises, coming up for hearing at the Supreme Court on Friday.
More details about the agreement are yet to come out. With the agreement signed, the company would take over the airport within six months. After the takeover, it would be operated jointly by AAI and Adani Enterprises Ltd in the first year. By the next one year, the employees’ service conditions should be finalised. On Tuesday, the Airport Authority of India Employees Union staged a protest against the signing of the agreement in front of the Thiruvananthapuram airport director’s office.
