Flyers may expect better flight handling this winter

New Delhi: This fog season, flyers may expect better handling of flights as the airlines now have an increased number of planes and pilots capable of operating in poor visibility conditions.
Among all the domestic carriers, the entire fleet of Air India, SpiceJet and IndiGo are fully compliant with the Category-III Instrument Landing System (ILS), which is deployed when visibility drops to 50 metres due to fog.
Jet Airways has a substantial number of 437 CAT-III pilots.
