It instils trust in health and safety standards practiced at Lucknow, Ahmedabad and Mangaluru airports amidst the spread and control of the global pandemic. We remain committed to reinforce our preparedness with global best practices and thus ensure a safe pre and post flight experience for flyers at the three locations.”

The ACI assessment covered the health and safety measures undertaken by the airports for passengers and staff in all the terminal areas including departures, arrivals and transfers, transportation services, food and beverage services, escalators and elevators, lounges, facilities and baggage claim area among others.

The accreditation is valid for the next 12 months. The programme is designed to help reassure the travelling public that airport facilities remain safe and that precautions are being taken to reduce health risks.

"Congratulations to the Adani Group airports in Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Mangaluru for securing the Airport Health Accreditation. With vaccine distribution underway, gaining the public’s confidence in air travel will be crucial as our industry prepares to restart and sustain continuing operations. The Adani Group airports are paving the way by providing passengers and employees globally-recognized standards on health and hygiene,” said Stefano Baronci, Director General, ACI Asia-Pacific.

    It is really painful and astonishing to see how the mere mention of Adani raises the heckles of some people.It is not good to attribute alterior motives any development done by the entrepreneur let br Adani Ambani etc.Large capital investment is required if India is to have state of art airports Railways and other world class infrastructure. Nobody is expected to give these amneties as charity.Hence kindly refrain from makinh off the cuff remarks when the country is striving to keep up with the other countries.

    Ambani & Adani not born after 2014, also they were doing puncture shop business till 2014. Just check the assets Ambani had before & after 2014, its all depend on company & its owners functionality. Dont forget so many thousands family getting benefit out of this.

    They are getting bank loans at low interest as a result our FD rates are low. They will get all sorts of concessions from govt at taxpayers expense which will kill healthy competition and harm economy.

    Effect of globalization started in 1990s by PVN and MMS..
    Even though I am not a supporter of Congress, still appreciate 1990 to 1995 Congress government under PM PVN and FM MMS.

    Ambani and Adani group of companies are hand in glove with the union government. This is a naked truth.

    All contracts and laws are being made to favour these gujjus. It is not a surprise that any organization managed by these looters will be given the highest certificate by blackmailers party led by chaiwala and motu bhayya.

    Looters are those who earn by illegal way, proven by courts.
    Hence, before calling any bussinessmen as looter, you have to prove it in court....

    Money speaks. Recently I had travelled from Mangalore air port and the conditions of toilets are as bad as previous management.
    Nothing has changed. Cleanliness is like before, not at all international standard.

    If one has to learn, how to maintain cleanliness, visit few malls reputed malls in Bangalore and they have high standard of cleanliness.

    In Mangalore, citi centre too maintain cleanliness to a certain extent. Either ACI Airport Health benchmark is wrong or they have super ceded all parametre and given this certificate.

    Mall cleanliness is same in all cities. There is no differnce between Mangalore malls or bangalore malls. I think you have visited Central market rather than Forum fiza mall or city centre.
