Building better airports
KEEPING UP THE tempo, the Andhra Pradesh Government has taken the initiative to kick-start the Rs. 1,162-crore new international airport for Hyderabad. The Centre too has got active again on the restructuring and expansion of the international airports at New Delhi and Mumbai. In Hyderabad, the GMR-MAHB consortium has been selected as the `preferred bidder' to become the 74 per cent partner in the Shamshabad airport, which will be built on a greenfield site. The State Government and the Airports Authority of India will each hold a 13 per cent share in the project. The Andhra Pradesh Government has announced a package of measures to raise funds for the new airport and also offered an interest-free loan to the private sector partner. Yet the privilege of having a new airport will not come cheap to passengers. While the proposed levy of Rs. 325 on each passenger using the existing Begumpet airport may be accepted stoically, the Rs. 1,000 user development fee from passengers using the new airport appears to be unreasonably high. The Karnataka Government is yet to finalise its concession agreement with the developer of the new airport at Devanahalli and decide on who will control the various functions at the airport. Providing financial support is another issue it needs to work out. Inducting the private sector in airport building has not been an easy exercise. Evolving a policy that would make such a long-term investment attractive has been one part of the unresolved problem. Hammering out a practical solution to the control of airport services is proving just as difficult. The Airports Authority of India and the Directorate General Civil Aviation want to retain complete control over services such as Customs, Immigration and security, and to get the investor to pay for their provision. Most of the international investors who initially expressed interest in participating in airport projects withdrew from the scene when they realised that this was just a `cosmetic' exercise at privatisation. There has to be a golden mean between the cosmetic approach and the investors' dream of taking complete charge of the project and, subsequently, the airport. This calls for a clear understanding of the role of internal agencies such as the Airports Authority and the DGCA, and of the private investor. In its much-publicised bid to encourage foreign investment in the airport sector, the Centre has already wasted three years trying to shape a workable policy. Given the security scenario in the world today, aviation authorities have insisted that the `air side' of the airport, including security and the control tower, should be in the hands of Government agencies, leaving the `city side' or terminal facilities to the private partner. They have also argued that raising Rs. 1,200 crores for an airport is no problem even for the Airports Authority, which could entrust the design and construction to international experts. The Centre has been unable to come to a clear policy position on this crucial issue because it has been unable to resolve the contradiction between its own security concerns and the interests of the private investors. This has proved costly for transformation of airport infrastructure in the country. _______________________________________________________________________________
