ILS already in place at Srinagar Airport: Director

Srinagar: Barely two days after PDP president and Member Parliament Mehbooba Mufti expressed dismay over the frequent flight disruptions at the Srinagar Airport and demanded Instrumentation Landing System (ILS), the Airport Authority of India Friday claimed that the ILS is already in place since the Srinagar Airport has been commissioned.

“We have ILS in place at the Srinagar Airport since it has been commissioned. The Airport Authority of India at its own cost has provided the same ILS to the Srinagar Airport which is installed in the Delhi Airport. I can say with responsibility that the system is working very well here at the aerodrome,” Director, Airport Authority of India in Srinagar, R K Shinde was quoted as saying by local news agency KNS.

He claimed that if the Air Force will provide ‘approach lights’ at the aerodrome, then landing can be done during even the low visibility.

“We have no approach lights in the runway. If at all the Air Force which is looking after the runway, provides the approach light system of runway, then it will help flights land in the fog or low visibility also,” Shinde said.
