PTI | 08:09 PM,Sep 01,2010The Prime Minister said his government has continuously been making efforts to meet the growing demand for air services in the country. Noting that the government has taken the route of Public Private Partnerships to restructure and modernise the airports at Delhi and Mumbai, he said the recently inaugurated terminal at the Delhi Airport is "truly a world class facility which the nation can be proud of". In addition, two new Greenfield Airports at Hyderabad and Bangalore have been developed and become operational through the joint venture route, he said. Singh said once the new terminal here is operational, the airport will have the capacity to handle 500 domestic and 200 international passengers during peak hours and enable pilgrims from Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka to come to Tirupati in large numbers.
