Tiruchi airport operations to be automated soon

Tiruchi: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is setting up an Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC) at the Tiruchi International Airport to bring all airport operations, except Air Traffic Control, under a centralised automated system.
The AOCC will effectively be the “hidden nerve centre” from where the operation of the airport, including passenger, baggage, and cargo movement will be coordinated and controlled.
“Tiruchi is one of the airports in the country selected for setting up the AOCC and preliminary work on establishing the centre at the airport has already begun,” Airport Director S. Dharmaraj told The Hindu here on Friday. The AOCC is expected to be in place by February 2014.
