Mumbai: The Airport Authority of India (AAI) which is responsible for air traffic navigation at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport has been seeing an alarming trend over the past few years.
Most of its employees, attached with the Air Navigation System (ANS), being transferred to the Mumbai airport, would use their connections to try and stop their transfer. The reason being, Mumbai has an acute shortage of accommodations for them around the airport.
In deal with the problem, the AAI has now zeroed in on two places — one near Pawan Hans in Juhu and the other near Western Express Highway in Andheri — to build accommodations for them. Around 300 accommodations have been planned.
Regional executive director (west region) AK Sharma confirmed the development. A senior official from AAI said, “We hope that the construction will get over in a couple of years.”
