Celebi to take care of ground handling at Hyderabad airport

In the statement, Celebi, which won the order via a competitive bidding process, said that it will invest about $5-6 million over the next 10 years.

Hyderabad: The ground operations at the Hyderabad airport will now be handled by Turkish firm Celebi Aviation, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

In the statement, Celebi, which won the order via a competitive bidding process, said that it will invest about $5-6 million over the next 10 years.

The company in the recent months had also won the contract to carry out ground-handling at the Bengaluru airport and the just-commissioned Kannur international airport in Kerala.

Besides these three, Celebi also does ground-handling at the Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi and Ahmedabad airports, the company said.

“Being well set for a major growth path in the aviation space, India is a key market for us. With our focused and strategic expansion plans, we stand committed to play a meaningful role in the growth story of the aviation sector in this country,” said Murali Ramachandran, CEO at Celebi India.

Celebi has committed to partner with the Rajiv Gandhi airport to offer modern and technologically-backed services to over 20 million passengers, the company said.

Ground-handling services include aircraft cleaning and servicing, loading and unloading of food and beverages, besides cargo and luggage handling.

Under the 2107 new ground handling policy, aerodromes clocking 10 million passengers per annum or more are required to have three ground handling agencies, including that of the airport operator/its joint venture/its wholly-owned subsidiary or a joint venture/ subsidiary of Air India or any other agency appointed through a bidding process.
