AMSS stops functioning for 2 hours at Kolkata airport

Kolkata: The instrument through which pilots submit the flight plan to Air Traffic Control (ATC) stopped functioning for two hours at NSC Bose International Airport here on Saturday.
The flight operations were not affected as the pilots submitted the flight plans manually during this time when Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) malfunctioned, airport sources said.  As AMSS was not working properly, officials at ATC tower and Air Force base at the airport were not getting flight plans from the airlines electronically, sources said.
