It plans to rake in the moolah by providing eight parking slots available at the airport to private airlines during off-peak hours (12 midnight-6 am).
A senior AAI official, preferring anonymity, told ToI that domestic airlines (including Jet Airways and Indigo) have evinced interest to avail of the night parking facility being offered at the Nagpur airport.
Jet Airways operates flights to Mumbai and Delhi, while Indigo operates flights to Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata and Jaipur from Nagpur. Another airliner, SpiceJet, which plans to launch operations from Nagpur has also requisitioned for the same facility.
