Overview

• Adani Airport Holdings is evaluating bids to provide ground handling services at Mumbai and Ahmedabad airports after the exit of Turkish operator Celebi Hava Servisi AS.
• India’s Bureau of Civil Aviation Security revoked Celebi’s security clearance on May 15 over national security concerns related to Turkey’s support for Pakistan.
• The group has named Anurag Srivastava as CEO of its new ground-handling division to oversee operations and tender submissions.
• Securing these contracts would make Adani the third ground handler at both airports in compliance with regulations requiring three providers at major hubs.
• Adani plans to extend its ground handling ambitions by participating in upcoming tenders at Delhi and Bengaluru airports.
