Aerodrome licence of Coimbatore Airport renewed

Coimbatore: Voice Controlled Communication System (VCSS) for reducing the noise and ensuring peaceful working atmosphere at the Air Traffic Control (ATC) of the Coimbatore Airport was dedicated by the Regional Executive Director of the Airports Authority of India (AAI), D. Devaraj.
Airport Director, M.R. Vasudeva told The Hindu that VCSS is primarily aimed at synchronising all telephone calls, calls on hotline and VHF transmissions on one screen i.e., a touch screen rather than all of them blaring at a given point of time.
The touch screen would enable the ATC staff to see the nature of calls on the screen and take them one by one depending on the importance and priority.
Mr.Vasudeva said that after the inspection by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aerodrome licence of the Coimbatore Airport has been renewed for the third consecutive year and is now valid till April 1, 2011.
