"We are in advanced stages of discussions with major players (corporates) for jointly bidding for the proposed Navi Mumbai airport," Fraport India Managing Director Ansgar Sickert told reporters on the sidelines of an aviation summit here.     

The company is interested in airport management as well, he said, adding that "if there is no airport management, then we will not bid for it".
