GVK inks pact with Indonesian airports authority

Will manage non-aeronautical commercial operations at Bali airport in Indonesia

Hyderabad-based GVK Power and Infrastructure Limited on Thursday signed an operations and management contract with the Airports Authority of Indonesia (Angkasa Pura Airports), the Indonesian government airport operator.
The scope of the contract includes managing non-aeronautical commercial operations at both the existing terminals and the new international terminal of Indonesia's second busiest Bali (Denpasar) international airport, which is currently under construction.
The airport is expected to open in the third quarter of 2013 with a major make-over.
“This development is a true testament to GVK's established track record in the operation and management of India’s leading airports in Mumbai and Bangalore. We are committed to bring our expertise and experience in transforming the Denpasar international airport as well,” GVK Power chairman, GVK Reddy, said in a press release.
GVK is also developing an international greenfield airport in Yogyakarta in central Java in collaboration with the Indonesian government. This follows the MoU that GVK had signed in January  2011 with the local government.
GVK's two airports in Mumbai and Bangalore together handled passenger traffic of about 44 million in 2011-12, making it the country’s largest airport operator in the private sector.
GVK Power’s scrip is currently trading at Rs 12.76 on the BSE, down-2.30%, over the previous close of Rs 13.06.
