AAI's C-AFTM system to decongest air traffic at IGIA

New Delhi: Air traffic congestion over the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here is expected to be reduced significantly from early next fiscal as the AAI is set to put in place a new mechanism for regulating the traffic.

Airports Authority of India (AAI) is working towards the implementation of a Centrally-controlled Air Traffic Flow Management (C-AFTM) system across country's airspace and major airports, particularly those with high traffic density, in its bid to cut travel time for fliers.

The C-AFTM system, coming up at an estimated cost of Rs 107 crore, is to be initially implemented at the Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Kolkata airports. Once in place, it would reduce the holding time of planes over airports, an AAI spokesperson said.
