SC throws out plea for reopening old H'bad, B'lore airports

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today dismissed the petition of the Airport Authority Employees Union (AAEU) challenging the government's move to close old airports in Hyderabad and Bangalore.
A bench comprising Justice R V Raveendran and Justice H L Gokhale rejected the petition of the AAEU seeking restoration of commercial operations at the Hyderabad and Bangalore airports of the Airport Authority of India.
The Begumpet Airport at Hyderabad and HAL Airport at Bangalore were run by AAI before their closure.
Earlier, the Andhra Pradesh High Court had also rejected the plea of the employees' union to restore commercial operations at the two airports, terming it a premature case.
