Private sector involvement is anticipated to inject innovation and efficiency into airport management, contributing to the modernization of facilities and services offered at these crucial aviation hubs.

The leasing initiative covers a diverse set of airports across the country, marking a geographically comprehensive approach to the optimization of aviation assets. This strategic move emphasizes the government's commitment to creating a conducive environment for private investment in the aviation sector, ultimately contributing to the growth and sustainability of India's air travel infrastructure.

As the Ministry of Civil Aviation moves forward with the leasing plan, it signifies a dynamic step towards aligning airport management practices with contemporary standards, fostering industry collaboration, and ensuring the continued growth and development of India's aviation ecosystem.
