It’s a mix of communication which is causing untold confusion. at the Kolkata airport in Rajarhat area, pilots coming in to land have been facing a rather curious problem. Every day, between 5pm and 6pm, the crackling sound of transmission from All India Radio (AIR) has been intercepting voice communication between the cockpit and the Air Traffic Control (ATC).
And this has been happening for quite some time, said sources at the airport, adding that it has been leading to confusion for many flights.
The problem, said a source, is that AIR transmission encroaches upon the contact between pilots and the ATC. Due to this, the airport has been forced to change the direction of landing.
