该集团在印度运营着7个机场，已经在与优步讨论制定计划。值得注意的是，这两家公司最近宣布了一项合作，阿达尼机场(Adani Airports)目前在其7个机场中的5个为优步设立了专门的取车区。
的阿达尼集团知情人士向《印度经济时报》透露，该公司计划投资一支乘用车车队，在运营机场的城市，这些车辆将在优步等叫车平台上上市。
该集团在印度运营着7个机场，已经在与优步讨论制定计划。值得注意的是，公司最近宣布了一项合作印度阿达尼机场现在在七个机场中的五个为优步设立了专门的取车区。
其中一位消息人士称:“这是阿达尼集团打造辅助产品以支持机场业务增长战略的一部分。”阿达尼集团运营着孟买、艾哈迈达巴德、勒克瑙、斋浦尔、特里瓦南塔普拉姆、古瓦哈蒂和芒格洛尔机场。
疫情爆发后，优步(Uber)和Ola等叫车应用面临供应问题，司机没有大量返回平台。另一位消息人士表示:“对于优步和Ola这样的公司来说，一家大型参与者进入车队运营商领域可能是一剂强心针。”
每行业据估计，在网约车业务中，机场接送是最赚钱的一类。
尽管阿达尼集团计划投资该业务的规模细节尚未公布，但这将标志着这家基础设施巨头进入另一个新时代的业务。除了与沃尔玛(walmart)旗下的电子商务平台Flipkart建立多层次的合作关系外，该公司已经在数据中心业务(该领域最近获得了基础设施的地位)上押下重金。
在上周宣布与优步达成协议的声明中，阿达尼机场控股公司董事Jeet Adani表示:“我们的机场在全球航空地图上的位置独特。航空旅行激发了数以百万计的入境和出境旅客的愿望，将他们与有利于他们成长的生态系统连接起来。我们的服务理念始终以便利为核心，我们与合作伙伴紧密合作，不断创新和创造综合解决方案，以解决旅行中规划行程的困难和压力。我们致力于在所有机场确保无缝、安全、便捷的旅行体验。”
移动咨询和咨询公司MillenStrat的创始人兼负责人Vinay Piparsania表示，通过该合资企业，阿达尼可以寻求上下游解决方案。“机场是全天候运转的，有高峰有低谷，这是可以预测的。现在没有人能完全满足最终用户的需求。因此，任何能够提供可预测、舒适和安全的服务的人……”
阿达尼正在考虑上游和下游的解决方案——它控制着供应，其次是终端用户，因为它可以提供可以捆绑在一起的解决方案。有了正确的软件解决方案，可以考虑到接机时间、降落地点、航班延误等问题，在管理上就可以定制得更多。”

The Adani Group<\/a> is planning to invest in a fleet of passenger vehicles, which it will list on ride-hailing platforms such as Uber in the cities where it operates airports, sources aware of the development told ET.
The conglomerate, which operates seven airports in the country, has already been in discussions with Uber to chalk out a plan. Notably, the two companies<\/a> recently announced a partnership under which Adani Airports<\/a> now has dedicated pick-up zones for Uber at five of its seven airports.
\u201cThis is a part of the Adani Group\u2019s strategy to build ancillary offerings that support the airport business growth,\u201d one of the sources said. Adani Group operates airports in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati and Mangalore.
<\/div><\/div>The Ahmedabad-based group has been investing in companies to complement its airport business. Earlier this month, it inked an agreement with India\u2019s largest independent aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul company AirWorks at an enterprise value of INR 400 crore. Last year, the group picked up a 74 per cent stake in Flemingo Travel Retail and its Mumbai Travel Retail unit, which operate duty-free outlets at major airports in India. Last October, the Adani Group bought a 20 per cent stake in Flipkart-owned online travel agency Cleartrip.
Post the pandemic, taxi-hailing apps such as Uber and Ola have faced a supply problem with drivers not coming back to the platforms in full numbers. \u201cFor players like Uber and Ola, the entry of a large participant in the fleet operator segment could come as a shot in the arm,\u201d another source said.
Per industry<\/a> estimates, within the ride-hailing business, airport rides are the most profitable category.
While details of the scale at which the Adani Group is planning to invest in this business are yet to emerge, this will mark the infrastructure major\u2019s entry into yet another new-age business. The company has already made big bets in the data centre business \u2014 a sector that was recently accorded infrastructure status \u2014 in addition to its multi-layered partnership with Walmart-owned e-commerce platform Flipkart.

<\/div><\/div>E-mail queries sent to Adani Group and Uber did not elicit a response.
In last week\u2019s statement announcing the arrangement with Uber, Adani Airport Holdings Director Jeet Adani had said: \u201cOur airports are distinctively positioned on the global air map. Air-travel fuels the aspirations of millions of inbound and outbound passengers, connecting them with an ecosystem conducive for their growth. Keeping convenience at the forefront of our service philosophy, we work closely with our partners to innovate and create integrated solutions that understand the hassles and stresses of planning an itinerary while travelling. We are committed to ensuring a seamless, safe, and convenient travel experience at all our airports.\u201d
Vinay Piparsania, founder and principal of mobility advisory and consultancy firm MillenStrat said that with this venture, Adani could be looking at an upstream and downstream solution. \u201cAn airport is a 24x7 operation with its peaks and drops and that\u2019s something that makes it predictable. No one today is fully satisfying the end user\u2019s requirements. So, anyone who can provide a service that is predictable, comfortable and safe\u2026\u201d
\u201cAdani is looking at both an upstream and a downstream solution \u2014 where it has a hold over the supply and secondly is the end user because it can provide solutions that it can bundle together. With the right software solution, accounting for pickup time, drop-off locations, delay in flights, etc, it can be much more bespoke in its management,\u201d he added.
