AOCC at Dimapur but not in metro airports

Dimapur airport is considered a vintage of the eighties despite a modest but modern terminal catering to an increasing number of air travellers but surprisingly, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) Dimapur has link-up with Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC) that permits airlines, AAI officials, security agencies and other stakeholders to view live feeds on ground and air operations at various airports simultaneously.
Drawing attention on this aspect union civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju expressed disbelief, that India’s four major and ultra-modern airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Bangaluru and Hyderabad were not connected with the AOCC the absence of which, made these airports “extremely fragile and tenuous in terms of safety”.  In an exclusive interview to this Correspondent here today, the union minister said due to non-installation of AOCC in these heavily congested four metro airports the airlines and officials were unable to anticipate and prepare for flight delays and disruptions and thus making these airports extremely at high risk to flight chaos.
AOCC is considered the main nerve centre at airports to ensure smooth schedules for flight take-off and landings and thus prevent any mishap. AOCC operates crucial flight information, manages aerobridges, check-in counters and baggage ramps which are crucial in avoiding any unwanted situation or even mishap.
