The Airports Authority Employees Union (AAEU) on Saturday staged protest at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport against the government's decision to privatise the profit-making airport.
The Airports Authority Employees Union has claimed that privatisation will lead to exploitation of workers, as the staff will be hired only on contractual basis.
Earlier, the government cleared a proposal to manage six AAI airports under public private partnership. They are Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram and Mangaluru.
