With the government slightly in doldrums how to perk up economy of the country, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has recommended the government to privatizing six airports -- Amritsar, Varanasi, Bhubaneswar, Indore, Raipur and Trichy.

This recommendation comes in the wake when the central government has already privatised airports like Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and Guwahati for operation, management and development through PPP model in February 2019.

The call was taken by the AAI in its board meeting on September 5. Once the board took this decision, the recommendation was sent to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. The AAI, which works under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, owns and manages more than 100 airports across the country.

In February this year, in the first round of airport privatisation, the Adani Group bagged contract for all six airports by winning the bids with huge margins. The AAI had chosen the winner on the basis of the "per-passenger fee" offered by the bidders.
