Chennai: Veteran Air Traffic Controller V Krishnan passed away at his residence in Chennai on Wednesday night. Krishnan, one of the senior members of Air Traffic Controllers Guild of India was the member of National Civil Aviation Safety Advisory Council.
Krishnan, 76, retired from the service in 1994 as a general manager-ATC and served various airports in India during his career started in early 1960s.
"Krishnan was the guide and mentor of ATCians across the country and he was the one who always raised the issues of Indian air traffic controllers. It is a major loss to all of us since there are very few veterans like Krishnan in Indian ATC history. After his retirement, Krishnan was active in the aviation sector and involved in the various issues of ATCians, as an observer and adviser, ignoring his bad health," said a statement from Chennai Air Traffic Controllers.
