Instrument landing system (ILS) at Gannavaram airport is likely to be commissioned within one month. A calibration aircraft landed at Gannavaram airport on Wednesday evening.
The aircraft will calibrate the functioning of ILS on Thursday and the officials will submit a report to the Director General of Civil Aviation for clearance of ILS commissioning. It may be noted that the ILS was set up at Gannavaram airport at a cost of Rs 3 crore. The works were completed two months ago and the officials are waiting for the nod of director general of civil aviation for the commissioning of the ILS here.
Once the calibration aircraft officials submit a report the officials here will send the report to director general of civil aviation. After getting permission from him the officials will start trial run of the ILS with the regular aircraft landing at Gannavaram airport. The landing of flights is getting delayed due to lack of ILS so far and the Air India’s airbus also cancelled it’s services in the beginning due to poor visibility.
