DGCA plans to maximise utilisation of airways at IGI

New Delhi: The country's aviation regulator DGCA plans to maximise the utilisation of the two runways at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, asserting that their simultaneous use has not affected flight operations from the national capital.
"With the enhancement of manpower of Air Traffic Control, we are planning to increase the utilisation of runways and finally maximise it," Directorate General of Civil Aviation Chief Kanu Gohain said, adding that there was no drop in flight handling capacity due to the use of one runway for landing and one for take-off.
Earlier, when both the runways were simultaneously used, nearly 42 flights were being handled and even now, the number remains more or less the same, he said after flagging off Jet Airways' maiden flight to Kuwait.
