Communication failure led to mid-air crisis, AAI sets up panel to probe

Ahemedabad: The Airport Authority of India (AAI) in Ahmedabad has set up a committee to review the “loss of communication” between Air Traffic Control (ATC) officials and the pilots that had led to a mid-air crisis for nearly half-an-hour last Sunday. Although no damage was done due to the communication failure, officials said.
According to airport sources, during the peak hours the very high frequency (VHF) radio communication with ATC and the cockpit was dead for nearly 30 minutes. Because of the frequency failure, the communication between the pilots and ATC officials got paralysed.
