Hyderabad: The proposal to equip Rajahmundry airport with night landing facilities to cope with its growing passenger traffic has been stymied by red tape over a minor issue: the installation of a headmast at the top of a hillock, Korukonda, which obtrudes in the flight path.
Permission for this has to come from the Endowments department, which owns the hillock land. No action has been taken over the last six months though the proposal was made over a year ago. Four flights currently operate to and from the coastal city, but in the absence of night landing facilities, they cannot serve the interests of businessmen preferring a later flight, points out a senior AAI official.
