The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has recommended the Centre to privatise airports at Amritsar, Varanasi, Bhubaneswar, Indore, Raipur and Trichy, a government official said.

The recommendation came as the Centre has already privatised airports at Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati for operation, management and development through the public-private partnership (PPP) model in February.

The AAI, which works under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, owns and manages more than 100 airports across the country. In first round of airport privatisation, the Adani Group bagged contract for all six airports.
