Hyderabad: As part of business development initiatives, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited intends to diversify into civil aviation and is making efforts to re-open HAL Bangalore airport for short-haul operations, according to R.K.Tyagi, Chairman of HAL.
Delivering his keynote address here recently as a part of Aerospace Luminary Lecture Series organised by the Hyderabad chapter of the Aeronautical Society of India in Hyderabad, he said “We are already in a position to operate civil aircraft at HAL, Ojhar (Nasik), just about 200 km from Mumbai and 220 km from Pune. This should give a boost to the regional economy.”
Tyagi said, “Nowhere in the world airports are closed once a new one is developed. It happens only in India. In fact, most cities take pride in having more than one airport. Therefore, we will make efforts to revive the Bangalore airport.”
He felt that modernisation is key to any business, especially in the aerospace sector. HAL has cleared modernisation proposals worth Rs 6,000 crore, its largest at one go, besides focusing on redefining the customer sourcing philosophy, advance resource planning and strengthening project and contract management.
