Night-landing facility for Vizag airport

Hyderabad: Night landing facility for aircraft at the Visakhapatnam airport will become operational by next month.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is deputing its calibration unit to Vizag on March 23 to check the feasibility and it is expected to submit its report by this month-end. While Paramount Airlines, which is operating one flight daily in the morning now, has already sought permission to operate flights in the night to the port city, at least five other airlines companies have also evinced interest in availing themselves of the facility, it is learnt.
This facility is part of the expansion plan of Visakhapatnam airport which is perennially dogged by the problem of cancellation and delay of flights due to bad weather and fog.
