New Delhi: Better flight management by air traffic control and near precise prediction of fog by the meteorological department has helped the Delhi airport to handle operations smoothly during this fog season so far.
"Airports Authority of India (AAI) has equipped the IGI airport with some of the modern CNS-ATM (Communication Navigation and Surveillance - Air Traffic Management) systems like instrument landing system (ILS) of Category III B on three ends of two runways which enables the air traffic controllers to guide the aircraft even when the runway visual range drops to 50 metres," AAI Chairman VP Aggarwal said.
Apart from this, AAI has installed advanced surface movement guidance and control system (ASMGCS) which acts as an extended eye of ATC during dense fog, he said at a conference on fog management organised by the Aeronautical Society of India.
