HC asks AAI for HAL airport details

Bangalore: The Karnataka High court on Thursday asked the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to give details with regards to the capacity of HAL Airport and details of number of flights it handled (both domestic and international) and its infrastructure when it was closed in May 2008.
The division Bench headed by Justice N Kumar also directed AAI to clarify with regard to the averments in the petition vis-a-vis the concessional agreement of July 5, 2004 for setting up a greenfield international airport at Devanahalli by BIAL. The petitioners contended that the agreement is not approved by the Parliament and there is no scope for closing an airport under the AAI Act.
"Under a private contract, we can't sell the Vidhana Soudha," the Bench observed before adjourning the hearing to Monday.
