Dum Dum: Flights are reaching Calcutta and other cities faster than before because of more airspace being opened to commercial aviation, but that has proved counterproductive for airports unable to handle the increased frequency of landings.
Around 33 per cent of India's airspace was earlier closed to commercial flights because this portion had been reserved for the Indian Air Force. But a more flexible airspace policy has allowed airlines into the hitherto restricted zone, reducing the flying time of many flights.
But speakers at a seminar on Challenges in Aviation - Ground to Sky, organised by the Air Traffic Controllers' Guild (India) in New Town, said a corresponding upgrade in airport infrastructure was required to prevent flight delays.
