New Delhi: The International Civil Aviation Organization will conduct a second aeronautical study to determine if multi-storied buildings coming up in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) near Ahmedabad airport can exceed prescribed heights.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI), which issues no-objection certificates for buildings around airports, had agreed to allow only about a third of the height sought by GIFT authorities for nine buildings planned in the city. Following the AAI's decision, the applicant approached the appellate committee, which agreed to let the United Nations aviation agency make an assessment.
"We have assigned ICAO to conduct aeronautical study for Gujarat International Finance Tec-City," AAI chief S Raheja said. "An agreement involving AAI, ICAO and GIFT was recently signed."
The nine buildings are crucial for GIFT City, located 12 km from Ahmedabad International Airport, which is being developed as India's first global financial and IT hub and has been fast-tracked after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in May 2014. Height restrictions on buildings and structures around airports are meant to facilitate navigation and keep flight paths clear during landings and take-offs.
