New Delhi: The firm stance and intense lobbying by the state government against privatization of Trivandrum international airport seems to have had its impact at the Centre. Though it is unclear whether the Centre will review the decision, two developments in New Delhi on Wednesday threw enough hints that the Centre was seriously considering the proposal of the state that the management of airport should be given to the special purpose vehicle - Trivandrum International Airport Limited - floated by the state government.
Union civil aviation minister Hardeep S Puri told the Rajya Sabha that the suggestion of the state government to hand over the management of Trivandrum international airport to a state governmentrun agency is under the consideration of the government.
Later in the day, the Union cabinet meeting decided to put off the decision to privatize the Trivandrum international airport, although the cabinet approved the proposal for leasing out Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Mangaluru airports to Adani group for 50 years.
