Mumbai: The AAI employee union will intensify its agitation against the government’s move to privatise six of its airports following the AAI seeking bids from interested parties, a union member said Monday.
Last month, the government cleared a proposal for managing six AAI-run airports – Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Ahmedabad and Jaipur – on public-private partnership (PPP) basis.
However, Airports Authority Employees Union (AAEU) is opposing the move, which comes ahead of the general polls next year, on the ground that the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has invested huge money on these airports and it will not be able to get any return on the investment.
“We are opposed to privatisation and we will continue opposing it. We will intensify our agitation with more demonstrations as the government is going ahead with its proposal despite just about four months left in the general polls,” the union member said.
