Govt. enables BIAL to re-design Devanahalli airport


New Delhi, Sept. 7 (PTI): The government today enabled Bangalore International Airport Ltd to make changes in the project design so as to be able to cater to 8.4 million passengers by 2010 against the earlier target of 2020.

The Union Cabinet approved amendments to the concession agreement with BIAL, allowing the joint venture firm to re-design the airport under construction at Devanahalli.

Traffic estimates in 2000 had shown that 8.4 million passengers would travel to and from Bangalore in 2020, but a boom in air travel meant that the passenger projection would have been reached in 2010 itself.

As against the initial forecast of 41,000 aircraft movements per year in 2010, the latest projection has increased to 1,06,000 movements per annum, forcing the BIAL to to re-design the airport by merging the second phase of construction with the first phase to be completed by 2010.

The Union Cabinet, at its meeting today, approved the signing of two agreements with the joint venture firm to modify the concession agreement to factor in changes in the project design.

The projected cost, taking into account the redesigning of the project, would go up from Rs 1,411.79 crores to Rs 1,930.29 crores -- a hike of Rs 518.5 crores which would be funded through additional debt.

The additional amount would be raised by BIAL through loans as well as advances received from third-party service providers like those to be


 


Way to go ........

R-ADAG`s airport bid grounded

R-ADAG`s airport bid grounded



P R Sanjai / Mumbai September 14, 2006









Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group’s(R-ADAG’s)foray into the aviation infrastructure sector has hit a roadblock again.

 

After losing the Mumbai and Delhi airport modernisation projects to rival bidders, group company Reliance Energy has lost the bid to set up ground handling facilities at the upcoming Bangalore international airport.

 

Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) has selected the consortium of Air-India/Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) and Globe Ground India for ground handling. Globe Ground India is a joint venture between German airline Lufthansa and New Delhi-based Bird Group.

 

Reliance Energy had teamed up with Texas-based cargo handling major Worldwide Flight Services to bid for cargo handling and ground handling services at the airport.

 

Earlier, Reliance Energy had lost cargo handling to a consortium of Air-India/SATS and Bobba Group/Menzies Aviation.

 

BIAL CEO Albert Brunner has confirmed the development. Air-India is the country’s leading ground handling operator with a market share of 55 per cent.

 

"Air-India is earning a revenue of over Rs 500 crore per year from ground handling. It has a presence in Kozhikode, Ahmedabad, Amritsar and Pune. The airline is also saving as it serves own fleet too," according to industry sources.

 

Mumbai-based Cambata Aviation is the other market leader in ground handling.

 

Recently, Punj Lloyd entered into a joint venture with Swissport International, a world leader in the ground handling industry. The JV is looking at developing projects in Indian airports, leveraging on Swissport's brand and know-how and Punj Lloyd’s local expertise.

 

Meanwhile, the Air-India-led consortium has selected Singapore-based Architects Team 3 Pte for the design and construction of Bangalore international airport’s cargo handling infrastructure.

The train service is back in the local parliament now - all 3 papers (that I read) had a big blurb on the "desire" to follow the model as in XKL/KUL. However it seems that the Indian railways is not keen for the Cantt. station to be used (which would have been ideal). The other option mumbled about was the Palace grounds - but that's under litigation (though the king/prince has indicated today he's looking for a compromise).

Would definitely love to - but I don't know if we'll be allowed anywhere close without permission.

We can give it a try. At least we can click pictures from a distance. If we are nice, they might even allow us into the admin offices.

There is on guy on some other forum who visited the site and has posted some pictures. Here is a link to that.
