Chennai: Air travel in India is getting safer and better with the GPS-aided Geo Augmented Navigation System (Gagan), a satellite-based facility to enhance safety and efficiency of aircraft operations, set to be installed in all airports across the country by June next year.
Gagan is a joint venture between the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). Gagan would improve air traffic management through timely information on aircraft
movement, integration of meteorological data and aeronautical information, AAI Air Navigation Services member V. Somasundaram said after commissioning the Air Traffic Signal Automation at the Trichy airport.
