I. INTRODUCTION

In 1972, the Government of India constituted the International Airports Authority of India (IAAI) to manage the nation’s international airports and constituted the National Airports Authority (NAA) in 1986 to look after domestic airports. In 1994, GoI notified Airports Authority of India Act. Thus in 1995 both these organizations were merged to form a Statutory Body called Airports Authority of India (AAI) under Act of Parliament.
