Bengaluru: Mumbai is taking a leaf out of Bengaluru's book by acquiring an advanced mobile command post vehicle or MCP for its international airport. The Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL), which operates the Kempegowda international airport, was the first airport to buy an advanced MCP vehicle last year but made no noise about it.
"Every airport has an MCP vehicle but usually it's just a jeep with essential requirements. The technology of our MCP is most advanced; we can now handle even a crash at the airport without loss of time. Besides, connectivity with the airport will not be disturbed since we can quickly get back to our normal operations," Hari Marar, president of airport operations, BIAL, told ET. The International Civil Aviation Organization and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation have mandated MCPs for all airports in the country .
Mistral Solutions, a product design and engineering service company based in Bengaluru, is the provider of the vehicle to BIAL and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai.
