As efforts are on to develop non-metro airports, a top global aviation expert has said the government should take the lead in developing aviation infrastructure in Tier-II and Tier-III cities with the private sector pitching in to provide commercial support.
“One way to mitigate the risk (of private investment in non-metro airports) is that the government provides basic infrastructure like airfields and terminal buildings. It is only then that private sector can come in to provide for commercial activities,” Ms Angela Gittens, Director General of the Airports Council International (ACI), told PTI here.
“You should not expect private parties to come up and invest in such areas. There should be a balanced approach,” said the head of the global airports’ body with 586 operators as its members.
