Airports Authority of India
From Chairman’s Desk
Airports Authority of India
Dear Readers,
At the outset, let me take this opportunity on behalf of the
whole family of Airports Authority of India (AAI) to extend
our warmest greetings for a happy & prosperous 2013. May
the god almighty shower the choicest blessings upon you &
your family.
Well, I have not an iota of doubt that you may have not
only witnessed but also experienced the phenomenal change
brought about by us in the airports’ infrastructure across the
length and breath of our country & its skyline. The changes
were necessitated to keep abreast of the unprecedented
growth witnessed by the Indian aviation sector in the
past decade & a half. It indeed gives me a sense of pride
& satisfaction to place on record that AAI has risen to the
occasion and accepted the challenge by facing it upfront &
emerging with flying colours, despite the global economic
meltdown & other inummerable hurdles, be it natural or
man-made, experienced during this period. The results of
our tenacity & relentless hard work show our commitment,
and are a true testimony to our desire to serve you, visible on
ground for one & all to see.
The globetrotters would agree with me in saying that our
airports which have been modernised, are of world class
standards & second to none, as the latest state-of-the-art
technology has been optimally utilised, whilst due cognisance
is given to the aspect of it being user-friendly. We had indeed
embarked upon an ambitious task of modernising sixty
airports inclusive of Chennai & Kolkata, and work at most
has either been successfully completed or is near completion.
We also take pride in saying that we have ventured into
constructing a Greenfield airport at Pakyong in the most
difficult hilly terrain & the progress is satisfactory, despite it
having been struck by an earthquake during the construction
work underway. It would thus be appreciated that as an
outcome of our unflinching efforts ,we rightly deserve to
‘Stand tall with head held high’.
Before I close, I would like to assure each one of you of the
plethora of expertise available at the disposal of AAI, which
will ensure that no stone is left unturned in making your
journey comfortable, pleasant, safe & seamless. We reassure
you of you being in the safe & professional hands of AAI.
Jai Hind. Happy reading and Bon Voyage!
V.P. Agrawal
Chairman, Airports Authority of India
