AAI approves tenders to set up branded retail shops at Chennai airport

Airport Authority of India (AAI) is calling tenders to identify contractors to set up branded retail shops in the domestic and international terminals at the Chennai airport. Airport officials hope that the attempt will work this time as the terms and conditions have been tweaked so as to keep it attractive for the big names in apparel, leather goods, stationery and books, handlooms, handicrafts and other things. Though food and beverages and duty-free contracts were awarded and new stalls set up a long time ago, setting up of stores was getting delayed. In this new move at the Chennai airport, signage players will get a new business opportunity as they can tap fresh projects in it.
