Lucknow: Time taken by aircraft in take-off and landing at Amausi airport has reduced by up to 15 minutes with the installation of Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS).

The job used to consume a lot of time and the approaching aircraft had to remain air borne during the period.

In the meantime, the first one will start assisting the next aircraft. The division of work will save up to 15 minutes.
