Lessons from Mopa Bidding (1/2)

• Two criteria for inviting bids


►Upfront fixed amount to be paid upon execution of concession
agreement towards the cost of land to be granted for the project.
►Percentage of revenue share payable to the Directorate of Civil
Aviation, GOG each year
• GAL took an aggressive position as compared to AAI based
on two parameters
1) Revenues from city side development.
» Aggressive call on the city side revenues
» Cash shortfall high for revenue share quoted by GAL
2) Non aeronautical revenue generation per passenger per annum.
» Non aeronautical revenue was highly dependent on international as well as
leisure traffic
pax – Passengers
p.a. – per annum

Lessons from Mopa Bidding (2/2)

• AAI was not able to take call on higher non aeronautical


revenues due to lack of precedence of the same in any of
the AAI airports.
• Non aeronautical revenues will lead not only to competitive
bidding but also enhancement of its revenue generation
from airport assets and higher value creation.
• AAI’s presence brought GAL bid to better level.
