Indian Airports Face Billions in Losses, Some Shut Down

Many airports in India are losing money.

Over ten years, 81 airports lost a lot of money, with Safdarjung Airport losing the most.

Some airports have even closed down.

The government is trying to help by encouraging flights to more places, giving money to airlines to make these flights possible.

The goal is to make these smaller airports successful in the long run.

The government provides financial assistance and incentives to reduce operational expenses to make services viable.
