Six airports leased out to Adani Group, civil aviation minister

Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Thursday said six airports were leased out to the Adani group through a thorough, competitive and transparent process.

State-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) has leased out six airports — Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati and



Thiruvananthapuram — to the Adani group.

While mentioning about the leasing out of these airports, Trinamool Congress leader Saugata Roy said in the Lok Sabha that Niti Aayog and the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) were of the view that two airports should not be given to the same entity.
