ANSWER: None of the above
Explanation:
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to privatise terminal operations at its Jaipur and Ahmedabad airports.
It has invited bids from global firms with a promise to give the winning bidder a free hand in replacing existing airport staff.
AAI officials said that about 230 workers were employed at the Jaipur airport in total, while Ahmedabad airport employed about 330 staff.
The AAI Chairman said only a limited number of direct employees worked in the terminal side of the airports.
He said private operators who bid for the lowest management cost and the highest rise in airport revenue will bag the terminal management contract for a period of 15 years
According to the bid document, the developer will manage passenger terminal building, including fire control room, kerbside approach road and passenger boarding bridges.
The developer will further supervise ground handling services, car parking and all terminal approach roads along with assets, equipment and machinery at the two airports.
The AAI will continue looking after operations and maintenance of airside facilities at these two airports including runway, taxiway, cargo complex and other city side facilities.
