Abstract

Public-private partnership in airports is not a new phenomenon. With the development of five major airports and new upcoming airports in India, PPP has become a tool for project implementation in airports. Public perception, as well as stakeholders' perception regarding the PPP execution, is highly positive. However, it is observed that the conflict between the airport operator and regulator increases as the contract starts to take shape. Long-term contracts are always incomplete and this creates conflict between the government and private operators in terms of each other's incentives. With these questions in mind, the paper offers an assessment of the perception of stakeholders of the airport sector through eight focus groups discussions about the challenges in the contract design of PPP. The analysis resulted in four themes of relevance. The broad themes are viability of the project, bidding process, risk allocation, and price regulation.
