Moving full steam ahead to privatize six big airports on the lines of Delhi and Mumbai’s mega airports, the Airports Authority of India on Friday issued Request for Proposal (RFP) for Lucknow, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Mangaluru and Thiruvananthapuram.

The state run airport operator wants to hand over the operations, management and development of these 6 growing airports to private players for 50 years. The authority has given a tight timeline for this second round of privatizing airports after Delhi and Mumbai were bid out over a decade back. The last date for submission of bids is February, 2019.

Technical bids will be opened two days later to decide the winner. And the winning player will get the letter of award on February 28, 2019.
