Airports Authority of India takes major initiatives to reduce emissions

New Delhi: As India and several other nations oppose the EU proposal to impose carbon tax on Indian carriers flying in European airspace, the Airports Authority of India has implemented a series of measures to substantially reduce emission.
In a paper presented at the ongoing International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) general assembly in Montreal, AAI has outlined a series of major initiatives it has taken to check depletion of ozone layer and emissions through improved air navigation service (ANS) procedures and training.
These include route optimisation, upgrading of surveillance infrastructure, upper airspace harmonisation, continuous descent operations, collaborative environmental initiatives and ground efficiency improvement programmes.
