Mumbai, May 16 ( UNI) Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has terminated its contract with Turkish aviation company Celebi after the Indian government revoked its security clearance, citing national security concerns, officials said on Friday.
According to a statement issued on behalf of Mumbai & Ahmedabad airports, the ground handling concession agreements with Celebi at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) were terminated following the government's decision to revoke Celebi's security clearance.
