Jaipur airport has been leased out to Adani Group for 50 years by the Government of India.

The group will manage entire operations at the airport, except the cargo terminal, air traffic control and communication, navigation and surveillance system.

Balhara further stated that the company will be working under a PPP mode to carry out the operations, management and development of the Jaipur International Airport.

In 2018, JAI was one among the six airports, which were selected by the Indian Government for privatising their operations, management and development for a period of five decades.
