The advantage of air travel is that travellers save a lot of time and for the same reason people prefer this mode for transportation over railroads and highways. Air travel has come a long way in India as more new airports are being constructed and older unused ones are being revived to accommodate larger aircraft that require longer runways.
Airport construction is a highly specialised civil engineering segment within the construction industry and is not limited to the tarmac or the control tower – rather it is a wholesome endeavour in which airport security receives the highest level of priority.
The Airport Construction Process
India is among the few countries of the world that has a handsome number of airport construction companies. Uniquely, a few of the top airport construction companies in India also handle airport construction jobs in foreign countries as well. This is a major advantage for them and they are able to face construction challenges more confidently.
In India there are airports both in the government and private sector with a vast majority of airports under the control of the Airport Authority of India (AAI). In addition to constructing and operating airports; AAI prescribes rules and regulation for construction, maintenance and safe operation of airports. In all, the authority operates 125 airports in India.
To meet various regulatory measures any business that wants to construct and operate airports in India has to seek AAI approvals before setting the airport construction process on. However, it is significant to note that no civilian airports (for passenger traffic) can be constructed in places that are within a 150 kilometre of an existing airport. This does not, however, apply to airports that are for private use only.
