In a boost to Air India, aviation regulator DGCA has given its go ahead to the government-owned airline to operate its Dreamliner fleet during the forthcoming fog season even as the regulator has called a meeting of all stakeholders including airlines and airport operators this week to take stock of their preparedness to deal with the fog-related problems.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has allowed Air India to operate its Dreamliner B787-800 aircraft, using CAT III Instrumental Landing System during the thick fog, a senior DGCA official said.
Following the DGCA certification, these aircraft will be able to land even when visibility drops to below 100 meters.
Dense fog conditions generally hits most part of north India between mid-December and mid-February every year, which result in disruption of rail and air services.
