Radar facility at CIAL getting ready

Kochi: The radar facility at Cochin International Airport is expected to be fully operational by December this year.
The construction of the NAV-AID building which will house the radar equipment is in the final stages. The equipment is being procured and will be installed by the Airports Authority of India, which is responsible for air traffic management at Cochin International Airport.
Mr A.C.K. Nair, airport director, said that the radar is expected to be installed by the end of August. However, full-fledged operations may take some more time since the equipment need to be calibrated and tested.
AAI has designated Cochin International Airport as a lower area control centre as part of restructuring of the Indian airspace.
