    Out of the 125 airports managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), 86 of them are operational.

    Out of the 125 airports managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), 86 of them are operational while 15 made profit during the fiscal 2007-08, the Rajya Sabha was informed.

    The 125 airports managed by AAI also include civil enclaves at defence airports.

    "Out of 125 airports and civil enclaves managed by AAI, the number of profit making airports during the last three years are 13 (2005-06), 14(2006-07) and 15 (2007-08)," Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.

    For better revenue realisation by AAI, airports are being upgraded to accommodate large aircrafts.

    "The airports are being upgraded to accommodate large type of aircrafts and airlines are requested to make use the additional facilities provided. This will improve the realisation of more revenue to AAI," Patel said.

    AAI is also making efforts to increase the non-traffic revenues at airports by better exploitation of the commercial opportunities, he said.
