ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION

(GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD))

(a) & (b): The State/ UT-wise list of profit/ loss making airports in the country owned and
operated by Airports Authority of India (AAI) along with the details of profit/ loss suffered by
these airports during the last three years is enclosed at Annexure. The losses are mainly due to
low revenue generation to meet the total expenditure including maintenance cost of the
respective airports. The Covid-19 pandemic has also adversely impacted the revenue of
airports during FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22.

(c): AAI has taken steps to make these airports profitable by enhancement of non-aeronautical
revenue by award of contracts through Master Concessionaires, optimum utilization of
commercial space for revenue enhancement, city side development, Revenue Share Model for
select commercial contracts and utility cost optimization like LED replacement, Solar panel
installation etc. AAI has also taken steps to enhance aeronautical revenue in the form of
increase in airport charges at non-major airports.
