The Airport Authority of India or private operators manages
most of the airports in India.
The maintenance including upgradation of facilities of navigational aids,
extension of runways, expansion of terminal buildings, etc. is under the
jurisdiction of the Airport Authority of India / Private Operator.
AIR INDIA (IC) pays various charges like Landing, Parking, Route Navigation Fee
etc. to the airport controlling agencies for using the airport.
Airport constraints such as runway length and gradient,
obstacles in the airport vicinity and high temperature affect aircraft
performance and restrict our payloads. Sometimes, we may even have to refuse
passenger reservations inspite of the fact that many seats are vacant.
Provision and maintenance of all facilities at airports, be it
the check-in areas, toilets, telephone booths, banking, post office counters,
etc. are controlled by the airport controlling agencies and we have no direct
control over the upkeep and upgradation of these facilities. Passengers
suggestions can and are taken up by us with the Airports controlling agency
vis-a-vis upgradation of facilities.
Some unauthorized persons may try to help you with your reservations, hotel
bookings, currency change, car rental etc. You are requested not to deal with
any unauthorized person/ agent but seek the assistance of AIR INDIA (IC),
Airport Authority, Tourist office, etc.
