Tiruchi-bound flights from Singapore take new ATS route

Tiruchi: Flights from Singapore to Tiruchi and Kuala Lumpur to Tiruchi have begun using the new ATS (Air Traffic Services) route with effect from July 26. This has cut down flying time and enabled airline operators to save aviation turbine fuel.
With international operator Tiger Airways proposing to operate additional services to Tiruchi from Singapore, the number of flights taking the new route ‘V 30’ will soon increase to 23 per week.
The ‘V 30’ route introduced by the Air Traffic Management Directorate of Airports Authority of India (AAI) has facilitated the Singapore-Tiruchi and Kuala Lumpur-Tiruchi aircrafts to make a “straight in” approach for Instrument Landing System at Tiruchi airport runway 27, instead of making an ‘arc’ approach.
