Airports to roll out red carpet to global business execs

New Delhi:The government is planning to develop ground infrastructure at major airports ‘exclusively’ for non-tourists charters and private jets carrying top business executives and CEOs.
The infrastructure may be created in the form of a separate airstrip in airports coupled with small terminals to cater to the charter flights, the official said.
Even movement of private planes of global executives may be allowed, the official said. The government is likely to create such facilities at all the major airports.
With the modernisation of Delhi and Mumbai airports and 35 non-metro airports underway, the government may equip these airports to handle flights of executives travelling to India. Even the greenfield airports at Bangalore and Hyderabad and the upcoming one in Navi Mumbai could have such facilities.
