Chaos at Mumbai airport as Shah Rukh Khan heads for IIFA 2024

Mumbai, Apr 30 () The construction of the international airport at Navi Mumbai will be little delayed due to the situation arising out of the coronavirus pandemic, GVK Group Vice Chairman Sanjay Reddy said on Thursday. He is also the Managing Director of Navi Mumbai International Airport Ltd (NMIAL). The Rs 16,000-crore aerodrome is being built by a consortium led by GVK Power &amp; Infrastructure. A release issued by industry body CII quoted Reddy as saying that the construction and starting of Navi Mumbai airport, is expected to be a little delayed due to the current situation in the wake of the pandemic. The airport would be using the most advanced technologies and artificial intelligence, he said. Reddy was addressing a session on the future of travel amidst the COVID-19 situation, organised by the Young Indians (Yi) Mumbai Chapter of the CII, as per the release. Every single business and organisation is currently reinventing themselves. The pandemic would also foster the use of modern technology, which in turn would bring in more efficiency in the system, he said. "During the pre-vaccine period, airports are expected to adapt to various safety and hygiene practices. Also, it is expected that business travels will be reduced due to more utilisation of virtual platforms and travel cost cutting in various organisations," Reddy was quoted as saying in the release. The post-vaccine period is going to be totally different as people would be eager to travel, he added. The GVK group is already a majority stakeholder in the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which is running the Mumbai airport. The second airport in the Mumbai region was expected to be open in December 2019 and the deadline was pushed to 2021. The passenger terminal building is being developed to initially have a capacity to handle 10 MPA (Million Passengers per Annum) and would be enhanced to 20 MPA. The GVK group plans to spend Rs 8,500 crore in the first phase of the project. The Navi Mumbai airport project is a public-private partnership venture in which MIAL holds 74 per cent stake with Maharashtra's CIDCO. The concession agreement for the new airport was signed between the NMIAL and CIDCO in January 2018. IAS RAM

 Modi, also a disability rights activist, called attention to more appropriate alternatives that are in use by other airports to help with such screenings. “Every other international airport has chemical strips to check the wheelchair and shoes, a disabled passenger doesn’t need to get out of their wheelchair. So why in Mumbai’s International Airport?” she tweeted. In his tweet, Sinha also asked the Central Industrial Security Force to look into the matter again.

 The CISF had responded to the Twitter thread saying that it was just part of the mandatory pre-departure security check and that the staff was polite to her.

The official, however, said that domestic passenger traffic, though, doing better, it is likely to have some impact too, going forward. IAS MKJ

Coronavirus: Int'l passenger traffic at Mumbai airport declines sharply by up to 70 pc in March

Mumbai, Feb 25 () The airport retail segment in the country is expected to grow to USD 9.3 billion (about Rs 66,000 crore) by 2030 from USD 1.4 billion (about Rs 9,940 crore) at present, with as much as USD 2 billion (about Rs 14,200 crore) coming from duty-free sales, a report said on Tuesday. Real estate opportunity for Indian airport operators is projected to be USD 1.6 billion (about Rs 11,350 crore) by 2030, global property consultancy Knight Frank said in its report on transit retail. "The total opportunity for airport retail to be approximately USD 9.3 billion by 2030 from its current estimated market size of USD 1.4 billion in 2019," it said. Duty-free retail, which is about 50 per cent of the total retail opportunity at USD 0.7 billion currently, is expected to grow to USD 2 billion during this period, it stated. According to Knight Frank Research, Delhi airport earns close to USD 10-11 duty-free revenue per passenger, while Mumbai earns a duty-free revenue in the range USD 9-10 per passenger. Duty-free revenue for Bengaluru airport stands in the range of USD 5-6 per passenger, it said. Duty-free zones in airports like Singapore's Changi, London's Heathrow and Dubai airport have become destinations in themselves with their per passenger spend for duty-free products as high as USD 34 for Changi and USD 20 for Paris and Dubai airports, the report said. The share of non-aeronautical revenue for Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru airport for 2019 financial year stood at 70 per cent, 54 per cent and 49 per cent, respectively, the report said. For the airports managed by the Airports Authority of India, the share of non-aeronautical revenue stood at 13 per cent. Revenue from retail concessions at Delhi airport stands at USD 109 million followed by Mumbai airport with USD 84 million and Bengaluru with USD 26 million. "Today non-aeronautical revenue has become a very vital component to measure an airport's health and success. The rise in the number of global travel passengers and the changing demographics are bringing a paradigm shift in how retail and food and beverage offerings are viewed at an airport," Knight Frank India Chairman and Managing Director Shishir Baijal said. Airports are no longer mere transit hubs, but are emerging as retail destinations catering to the well heeled consumer, and so the retail offering at the airport is slowly mirroring the offering of a city centre, he added. According to the report, in case of key markets of Mumbai and Delhi, airport retail development garners revenue 2.4 times and 2 times that of successful malls in these markets, while it stands at 0.9 times in Bengaluru. While these are the present-day dynamics of some of the transit-oriented and city-centric developments, with the right focus and retail infrastructure development, these benchmarks have a very strong upside potential, Knight Frank said.

New Delhi, Aug 23 (IANS) More trouble is brewing for GVK Infrastructure and Power, including Mumbai International Airports Limited (MIAL) after the action by enforcement agencies as the lenders are in the process of appointing a forensic auditor. Top banking sources revealed that this is imminent after the PWC walk out. GVK Infrastructure and Power including Mumbai International Airports Limited (MIAL) have been facing action by the enforcement agencies, CBI and ED. The CBI filed a chargesheet on June 27 while ED filed its chargesheet on July 7. Based on RBI Master Directions on Frauds, dated July 1, 2016 (updated on July 3, 2017), State Bank of India is believed to be appointing Deloitte as the forensic auditor to check the accounts of MIAL for the past 10 years. MIAL is operating the Mumbai Airport in a joint venture with the Airports Authority of India. PriceWaterhouse Coopers has recently submitted its resignation as auditors from GVK Infrastructure and Power and GVK Airport Developers. PWC resigned as statutory auditors following the CBI and ED raids in MIAL. PWC in a letter has cited the recent events at MIAL to ascertain the appropriateness of continuing as statutory auditors in the company. PWC said in the letter to the audit committee of the companies that it is waiting for explanations and information from the company to finalise the audit for financial statement of the year ended March 31, 2020. The auditors said the company had still not provided the details which is reiterated in their resignation letter. While the crisis regarding GVK and MIAL is unfolding, there are reports that the Adani Group is looking to acquire control of MIAL with a 51 per cent stake. Adani and GVK have been locked in a legal tussle as Adani has been eyeing the Mumbai airport company. In the MIAL shareholding structure, GVK holds 50.5 per cent, while 26 per cent holding is with Airports Authority of India and 23.5 per cent is with South African companies, Bidvest at 13.5 per cent and Airports Company South Africa at 10 per cent. --IANS san/dpb
