Kolkata, March 10 AECOM Technology Corp, a leading Los Angeles-based consultant in technical and management support services, is keen on collaborating with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the modernisation of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose International Airport.

William Allen, the president and chief executive officer of Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation said that Vice-Chairman Ray Holdsworth has said his company is interested in working with AAI to help it realise its goals.

Holdsworth was part of a 25-member US trade delegation from south California, which visited Kolkata on Friday and Saturday. Long Beach council member Suja Lowenthal and Long Beach Harbour Commission president Mario Cordero, who were also a part of the team, have reportedly begun a dialogue with the Kolkata Port Trust regarding its expansion plans.

“The delegation, which interacted with several business houses based in West Bengal, are very enthusiastic about doing business in this part of the country,” said Allen. He added, “We had excellent briefings on the legal, financial, and tax related issues regarding establishing tie-ups with Indian business houses.”

AECOM, with over 40,000 employees across the world, has been engaged in the modernisation and construction of several airports, seaports and large infrastructure projects.
