Eight years later, in 2017, the RFQ (Request for Qualification) tenders were floated and companies like GVK, GMR, Tata Realty, Essel Infra and PNC Infra were found eligible after the initial assessment.

The process of privatization of Nagpur airport was initiated several times earlier. However, it was pending since the airport was handed over from AAI to MADC in 2009. Even the new government took four and half years to start the process.

A new company with 74% percent partnership of selected private company and 26% partnership of MIL will be formed to execute this ambitious privatization project worth Rs 1,685 crores. The airport currently accommodates 20 aircrafts and this capacity will increase after its development.

The proposed works include:

· The new runway will be suitable for landing and take-off of world’s largest aircraft A-300.

· New terminal building in 65,000 sqft area and 16 new parking spots.

· New ATC block, fire station and cargo building.

Process to take a month’s time
The privatization of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport will take another month’s time to complete the process after bidding on 28 September. The selected five companies will submit their bids to the office of MIL. The tenders will be evaluated on the same day with the help of advisors and the company projecting maximum revenues to the airport will be finalized. After this, the transfer of airport will take a month’s time.

Argentina: Comienzan las obras en el aeropuerto Astor Piazzolla, Mar del Plata

Se estima que as obras estén finalizadas para julio del año que viene. Se realizarán dentro de la terminal existente y en seis etapas con el fin de que no cese la operación de vuelos. COMO QUEDARA EL AEROPUERTO DE MAR DEL PLATA - PRE EMBARQUE

Se relocalizarán y redistribuirán los espacios de la terminal para mejorar fundamentalmente las áreas de control y de embarque, mediante la flexibilización de las salas de preembarque y de retiro de equipaje. La posibilidad de utilizar las salas para ambas funciones de acuerdo a las necesidades de los distintos vuelos programados, permite incrementar las superficies de uso y, por ende, la comodidad de los pasajeros. De esta manera, mejorará la circulación, se podrán reducir los tiempos de espera y se contará con áreas de mayor capacidad, mejorando la operación de la terminal y favoreciendo la experiencia de los pasajeros.

COMO QUEDARA EL AEROPUERTO DE MAR DEL PLATA - NUEVA MANGA

“Mar del Plata es un centro fundamental para el turismo del país y es por esto que estas obras son un eslabón de gran importancia en el desarrollo de la Costa Atlántica en el marco de la Revolución de los Aviones que está dando un enorme impulso a la industria aeronáutica y aeroportuaria nacional. Desde AA2000 acompañamos al Gobierno Nacional en este trabajo, enfocados en que la experiencia del usuario sea de excelencia, brindando servicios de calidad y con la más alta seguridad operacional”, sostuvo Martin Eurnekian, presidente de Aeropuertos Argentina 2000.

Por último, se readecuarán las oficinas de los distintos organismos aeroportuarios que funcionan en la terminal y los locales comerciales, lo que posibilitará la ampliación y diversificación de la propuesta gastronómica y de servicios.

En enero y febrero de 2018 el flujo de pasajeros se incrementó notablemente sobre el registrado el año anterior, y duplicó las cifras registradas en 2016.

Mientras que en enero de 2016 viajaron 31.173 personas, el mismo mes de 2017 lo hicieron 44.903 y de 2018, 68.992 pasajeros. En tanto, en febrero de 2016 se registraron 28.371 pasajeros, en febrero de 2017, 37.441 y en febrero de 2018, 56.086.

En este sentido resulta indispensable dotar al aeropuerto de una mayor capacidad, espacios más flexibles, eficientes y modernos, para absorber el aumento en el volumen de pasajeros.

El aeropuerto de Mar del Plata tiene como destinos habituales Buenos Aires, Bahía Blanca, Comodoro Rivadavia, Córdoba, Mendoza, Neuquén, Rosario, Bariloche Chapelco, Tucumán, Santa Fe, Santa Rosa, Trelew y Ushuaia. Y las líneas aéreas que operan allí son Aerolíneas Argentinas, Andes, Avianca y empieza a operar próximamente Lasa.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport: expansion take-off

Austin and Texas culture take center stage in a dramatic new terminal and apron expansion currently under construction at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The expansion will add nearly 175,000 square feet and nine new gates to the terminal, increasing the gate total to 34 and international flight gates from two to six.

Designed by Gensler, with Hensel Phelps as the main contractor, the expansion maintains the modernist bent of the original terminal (also designed by Gensler), but takes its influences from older regional sources, including the dance hall in Greune, Texas, and Austin’s famous moonlight towers. The dance-hall influence can be seen on the planned concourse, which is meant to have an open, relaxing feel and will feature shops and a food hall. At the end of the concourse will be a two-story, moontower-influenced structure that will feature Parkside restaurant on the ground floor, open to all passengers, and Delta’s Sky Club lounge on the mezzanine level.
