Mangaluru: An ‘airport operations control centre’ – that will enable you to know all that you want to – will be opened at Mangaluru International Airport shortly. Moreover, it is only the second airport after Chennai to get this facility.
Though it has many features for airport management, as far as passengers are concerned it would provide a comprehensive information on the flights operating at the airport. The information would be displayed through electronic display boards at the arrival and departure halls and at the entry and exit gates.
The control centre, through video cameras, would observe the movement of flights in the runway and parking area, monitor check-in counters, departure and arrival halls. Immediately, information on the display boards would be flashed in different colours. What you can expect, for example, about an arriving flight is whether the flight is on time or delayed by how many minutes, when it landed (with the display board flashing ‘landed’) and the parking stand (number) it would be parked at, the conveyor belt from which passengers could pick up their luggage and so on.
