Surat: There is good news for flyers in the Diamond City. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has approved the use of 2,290 metre runway for landing of aircraft from Vesu-end of the airport.
Official sources said pending approval from the DGCA, the aircraft landing from Vesu-end of the airport were able to use only 1,905 metre runway, which has been increased to 2,290 metre. The approval for the 2,290 metre runway will end the issues of load penalty for airlines and dynamic airfares for passengers.
“We have received approval from DGCA for operating the full-length runway, except the displaced portion of 615 metre. The aircraft landing from Vesu-end will be able to use 2,290 metre runway, while the aircraft landing from Dumas side will be able to use full-length runway,” said airport director Dilip Sajnani.
Airlines operating from the Diamond City were facing a unique problem, especially during the summer months, known as ‘load penalty’. This means booking seats less than available.
