The Land side user concept
There are 3 Check In bays in the check in area which consists of 53 counters and 1 supervisor counter. Passengers check in for domestic and international flights based on the counters that are allotted by the schedule
Demand based on Flight Schedule – The user concept is based on the flight schedule - Airline with the maximum number of frequencies at a particular time will get the maximum no of counters for that particular time period.

16 years to kick start - Political leaders kept vacillating
Exhaustive “competitive” bidding process followed to select the operator. But the criteria followed was revenue sharing with government and not the user charges. The concessionaire has agreed to pay 4% of its gross annual revenues to government
Analysis - Some Pointers
Cost over run by (more than double) at the completion of construction
BIAL trying to recoup the investments by effecting phenomenal increase in the user charges. It proposed INR 1070 for international passengers and INR 675 for domestic passengers. Government agreed for international proposal but allowed only INR 260 from domestic passengers.

The Major Concerns

Charges of hidden subsidies in the form of interest free loan of 350 crore, exemption on taxes and duties.
Sale of full 17 % ownership by L&T to GVK at INR 686 crore and 12 % stake by Unique Zurich at 485 crore.

The Major Concerns
During January, 2010 your company has acquired 29% equity stake in Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) through another wholly owned subsidiary. BIAL is the 4th largest Airport in India in terms of passenger traffic having promising potential to grow in future. Bengaluru is one of the fastest growing air traffic hubs in the country with a potential to emerge as among the top three hubs ahead of the other key metro cities. Acquisition of BIAL shares will serve the Company's strategic business objective of airport business in India. It will also give headway to GVK to have its presence in Southern India, a fast expanding aviation market.

• Whilst BIAL resulted in creation of industry first by becoming first PPP to be signed for an Airport project in India, It came with the challenge of no precedence or template of how to build an airport in the country
• The project was initiated in information vacuum scenario
• Finally a world class airport was created after two decades (conception in 1991) of wading through the purling stream
• It took 3 years for BIAL and KSIIDC to negotiate model concession agreement with civil aviation ministry
• It helped HIAL also to shorten their airport project cycle by almost two years
• There has to be an upside for any project to come from the conception to the execution stage and BIAL had many
• It indeed set the ball rolling for other major airport projects in the country like DIAL and MIAL
• To achieve IATA rating of 3.5

Indian airports have traditionally adopted demand chase model
Capacity augmentation should be pro-active not reactive
Conclusion
Aeronautical charges regulated by AAI forcing BIAL to turn to Non-Aero
End user pricing should also be one of the bid evaluation criterion alongside revenue sharing for Airport privatization projects
Open competitive bidding with reasonable caps on end user price would create a win-win situation for the Govt, the Concessionaire and the end user
Create new infrastructure but sweat the existing assets – HAL closure
