BIALs basic trials from today

Bangalore:The countdown for the launch of Indias first greenfield airport, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) at Devanahalli, has just begun.
Basic trials of the facilities, procedures, systems and trained staff will commence on Tuesday.
This stage is an indication that the airport project is well on track for its scheduled opening on March 30.
Although flight trials are expected only in February, the basic trials are considered an equally critical development in the run-up to the airport’s formal launch in March.
Prior to the basic trials, the Designated Airport Readiness Experts (AREXs) conducted testing of basic processes at the greenfield airport last December.
A number of “Train the trainer programmes” have been completed successfully and trainers have prepared their sessions for airport- owned equipment and systems for the various trial phases, said BIAL officials.
