In November 2019, AAI declared Dilip Buildcon as L1 bidder for the construction of the new Hirasar greenfield airport.

In October 2019, AAI began work upgrading taxiways and part of the apron area at India’s Chennai International Airport.

The move was part of AAI’s plan to enable the airport to handle larger aircraft on its international routes.

AAI is also set to monetise 759 acres of land near eight major Indian airports.

This will enable private companies to build warehouses, hotels or restaurants on the land.
