In what could be the last hurdle cleared for night-landing facility to become a reality at the Srinagar International Airport, an inspection team from the civil aviation regulator Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will visit the summer capital on January 22 for conducting an on-ground inspection.
The team will carry out an assessment on whether flights at the Srinagar Airport could land during late evening hours. At present flight landings at the Airport are able to take place till 5:30 PM during winters and 7:30 PM during summers.
Speaking with Greater Kashmir, director Srinagar Airport Sharad Kumar said visit of DGCA team is expected to be the final one before the aviation regulator provides its “final nod” for night-landing at the Srinagar Airport.
“We hope there is nod from DGCA team but incase there are any more requirements to be fulfilled we will do so. Depending on the timing of the DGCA approval, night flights will be started,” Kumar said.
Kumar said a safety inspection team from IndiGo airlines recently paid a visit to the Srinagar Airport while as other airlines are also scheduled to conduct the safety checks in days to come, he said.
