Washington: The operator of New Delhi's revitalized airport said Thursday it hoped to enter the United States if the world's largest economy moves to privatize its aging network.
Indana Prabhakara Rao, chief executive officer of the Delhi airport, said that the company is making known that it is interested in investment in the United States, where virtually all airports are publicly owned.
"As and when airports come open for private participation, we are there to get into this," Rao told AFP on a visit to Washington where he was taking part in US-India aviation talks.
"We have expertise from end to end, from concept to commission, operation to maintenance," he said. "We are a global player. We are not a domestic player anymore."
GMR Group, in a consortium involving Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad, upgraded and operates Istanbul's second largest airport, Sabiha Gokcen, and is bidding to expand the airport in Cebu, the second largest city and tourist gateway of the Philippines.
