Unable to find takers for almost a year, the Kolkata airport has let go of the idea to generate revenue by using trolleys for advertisement. The airport has gone back to the old way of expenditure-based contract system where the authorities will pay a company to manage trolleys — maintenance, upkeep and salary of the retrievers. Even after floating multiple tenders since July last year, none showed interest in advertising on trolleys.

As the airport authority is now responsible for the all expenses, they have decided to cut down on manpower. Earlier this month, they floated a tender seeking a contractor who require to pay the salary of 64 employees. The airport now has 71trolley retrievers as they sacked 10 handlers who were above the age of 58. The authorities seeking a contractor to manage 64 handlers implies that more handlers will be barred from the system soon.
“We are abiding by the government recognized labour law policy. The pay structure as well as the retirement age is also clearly in accordance to the same policy. So, those past their retirement age will be let go,” said a senior airport official.
