New Delhi: India has established a crucial air navigation link with Nepal for exchanging real-time data on various aviation-related aspects, including weather charts and aeronautical maps.
The link, called AMHS (Air Traffic Service Message Handling System), was operationalised between Mumbai and Kathmandu on June 2 by the Air Navigation Services (ANS) Directorate of Airports Authority of India (AAI), its officials said today.
AAI is already implementing a prestigious satellite-based GAGAN system to navigate and guide all aircraft over the vast Indian airspace as well as the high seas.
The AMHS would replace the legacy Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network connectivity which could cater to only small textual messages.
The new facility would provide exchange of global messaging similar to e-mails through which binary attachments containing aeronautical maps, weather charts, digital NOTAM and other directives can be exchanged immediately.
