The Airports Authority of India today said it will soon implement upper airspace harmonisation in Kolkata FIR (flight information region) as part of the safety and air navigation services improvement project.
The decision was taken after a review meeting of the airports functioning by the civil aviation secretary Ashok Lavas in New Delhi, an official release said here.
Once implemented, it will bring improvement in ATM operational efficiency, safety of aircraft operations, fuel efficiency and savings in operating cost for airlines, and reduction in pilot/controller workload, AAI said.
The project include state-of-the-art integrated ATS automation system, integration of multiple radar and ADS-B sensors, airspace restructuring with multiple sectors and remote operation of VHF from Kolkata using IP based voice communication control system, the national airports body said.
