AAI allowed to shift HAL airport infra

Bangalore: The High Court of Karnataka on Friday permitted the Airport Authority of India to shift movable infrastructure and other facilities from the HAL Airport to other airports in the State.
During the hearing of a petition relating to opening of HAL airport for commercial operation, the Airport Authority of India (AAI), submitted that since the Court had ordered status quo, the equipment and other facilities at the Airport were lying defunct. The Authority sought permission of the court to move the infrastructure to any other airport till the matter is disposed of finally. It said new equipment would be installed if necessary in future.
“ The AAI has given categorical undertaking that in the event of allowing the writ petition they would re-equip the airport with needed infrastructure,” the Division Bench comprising Justices K?Sreedhar Rao and L Narayanaswamy observed while allowing the prayer.
