The U.S. Trade and Development Agency signed a memorandum of understanding with the Airports Authority of India to support a 20-year master plan aimed at expanding the operational capacities of the Kolkata and Lucknow international airports, two of the fastest growing airports in India.
State-owned Airports Authority of India selected the Cincinnati-based company Landrum & Brown to conduct the master planning, and modernize these vital transportation hubs.
“We are pleased to support this important project that will support India’s rapid aviation growth, while connecting U.S. businesses with new export opportunities,” said Thomas R. Hardy, Virginia-based USTDA’s Acting Director.
As the world’s ninth largest aviation market, India’s civil aviation sector is on a high growth trajectory, poised to be the third largest national market by 2020 and, potentially, the largest by 2030, reports Money Control.
