Unperturbed by the general slowdown in the aviation sector, as many as 16 private developers have lined up showing interest in the development of the Ahmedabad Airport, reports CNBC-TV18’s Ronojoy Banerjee. These developers see the Ahmedabad Airport emerging as a future hub to de-congest the Mumbai airport. The 16 developers include, GVK, GMR , Tatas, Reliance Infra , Essel Infra and Fraport which had developed the Delhi Airport along with GMR. Sources say even Larsen & Toubro has shown interest for development of other airports. Last week representatives of these companies attended a pre-qualification meet called by AAI and had shown interest for development of this Airport. However, the government has decided now to extend the deadline for announcement of the qualified candidates by more than a month for the six airports of Lucknow, Chennai, Kolkata, Guwahati and Ahmedabad. For instance, in case of Chennai the date has now been extended to December 2 from November 4. In case of Kolkata Airport, the dateline has been extended to January 20 from November 25; November 11 to December 26 for Jaipur, November 5 to January 6 for Ahmedabad and November 20 to January 20 for Guwahati.
