Bangalore: Mittu Chandilya, the 33-year old CEO of AirAsia India, has joined the chorus in support of reopening the HAL Airport in Bangalore. Interacting with management students of a college in Bangalore on Thursday, he said he would support the HAL airport if it reopened again to commercial operations in Bangalore while also urging the Centre to focus more on low-cost airports.
While there has been many such instances of various stake-holders in the society urging the Centre to open the HAL Airport again for civilian use, the water-tight clause in the agreement which has been entered into by the GVK-led Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) which runs the expansive international airport on the outskirts of Bangalore, will make it difficult for a second airport within a 150-km radius.
This statement by Chandilya comes even as AirAsia is in the various stages of negotiations with the BIAL to make it their main hub in India.
