GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited
Background
The Rajiv Gandhi International airport at Hyderabad, inaugurated by the UPA Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhi on 14th March, 2008, commenced operations from 0001 hrs on Sunday, 23rd March, 2008. The new airport was opened to the public, pursuant to the notification issued by the Ministry of Civil Aviation to launch operations. On 23rd March, 2008, a Lufthansa flight carrying 222 passengers became the first commercial flight to touch down at the new Greenfield International airport.
With the new Greenfield airport starting full-scale operations, the existing airport at Begumpet has been closed for civil aviation operations. The International Air Transport Association Code ‘HYD’ has also been transferred to the new airport.
The new Rajiv Gandhi airport has been developed by GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), a joint venture company promoted by GMR Group (63%) and Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad (11%), Government of Andhra Pradesh (13%) and Airports Authority of India (13%) as the other consortium partners. GHIAL had won the bid to develop and operate the Greenfield international airport at Shamshabad through an international competitive bidding process conducted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the Government of India. The new airport has also obtained the following clearances -:
* Aerodrome Licence and Clearance for Operations of Fire Fighting Systems from the The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)
* Environmental Clearance granting consent for operations from the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB)
* Clearance for the airport as a notified Customs zone.
The launch of the new Greenfield airport signifies the successful culmination of the Airport’s Operations, Readiness and Trial (ORAT) runs that have been underway for more than 18 months, from the date of commercial operations. GHIAL had engaged the services of Munich Airport International, for the ‘cut over’ or transition of airport operations from the existing to the new airport. GHIAL's mandate besides building and financing the airport also includes operating and maintaining the airport with service standard levels and infrastructure at par with any global benchmark, thereby enhancing the shareholders’ value. Build through the Public-Private Partnership initiative, the developers of the futuristic airport seek to establish Hyderabad on the global map and thereby contribute to the prosperity and overall development of the region
The airport is strategically located providing excellent opportunity to develop it as a hub for domestic and international passenger and cargo traffic. The futuristic airport reflects the long term vision of its developers to build it as a major domestic and international hub.
Hyderabad is centrally located and within a two hour flying time to all the major cities in India and 4 hours from major cities in the Middle East and South East Asia. The city has the potential not only to become one of the main hubs in India while also handling traffic between the East & West. The proliferation of IT companies has earned Hyderabad the reputation as India’s second Silicon Valley. The city is also a major centre for bio-technology and pharmaceutical companies. Among the MNCs who have a presence in Hyderabad include: Microsoft, Oracle, GE, IBM, Deloitte, HSBC, Baan and Indian corporates like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Satyam.
Hyderabad has a population of over 7 million inhabitants and a catchment area extending to 75 million people living within a couple of hours of the city. Currently there are 11 international airlines and 11 domestic airlines operating from Hyderabad flying to over 35 destinations.
