In a bid to make the airport sector more attractive to investors, the
government on Tuesday proposed shifting from the current revenue sharing
model to a fixed aeronautical yield model based on the number of
passengers for greenfield airports.
"The present model is revenue
sharing... The new model will be based on passengers entering the
airport. This will be the most transparent method. With new technology,
the headcount is far more easier," Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu
said.
Sharing the draft of the new Model Concession Agreement
(MCA) for greenfield airports which will be open for public consultation
till September 14, Prabhu said the government was trying to remove
regulatory hurdles and make the system transparent and predictable.
"We
want the model extremely transparent and something which will not be
subject to any controversy... The new regime would mean that the
successful dealer will have to provide facilities which will be
pre-determined in terms of quality," he added.
As per the new
(proposed) transaction structure, the Maximum Blended Aeronautical Yield
(MBAY) for 2018-19 is proposed to be Rs 400 per passenger, the maximum
amount an airport operator can expect to earn from passengers for its
aeronautical services.
The proposed bid parameter for airport
operator is 'Concession fee per passenger' payable to concessioning
authority in terms of rupees per passenger.
Bids will differ for each airport in line with projected traffic, financial returns and risk profile.
