Govt plans to develop 6 multi-modal airport hubs

New Delhi: India will soon boast of multi-modal international airport hubs across its landscape, similar to the one proposed in Nagpur. The government is planning to develop multi-modal hubs in six metros that would cater not only to commercial airlines but will also have cargo and MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) facilities.
Top sources in the civil aviation ministry told SundayET that the cities identified for the proposed hubs are Amritsar, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Thiruvanantapuram, Kolkata and Guwahati. Though the ministry is yet to set a time-frame, under which the proposed hubs will be developed, talks have been initiated for a public-private partnership for developing these hubs.
