In addition to joining the major leagues of New Delhi and Mumbai, the Hyderabad International Airport will now have nighttime landing operations on its second runway, after authorization from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The secondary reservation track was updated to this state from a parallel taxiway in 2012. In addition to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) of the city, there are only four other facilities in India: Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkatta and New Delhi, which have more than one runway.
"The DGCA recently accorded clearance following a series of trial landings and take-offs carried out over a period of time. Capable of handling large aircraft such as Boeing 747 jumbo jets, the secondary runway will be used as a back-up during non-availability of the main runway," said an airport official.
This comes as a great relief for airline operators, who serve RGIA during the night hours.
Incidentally, in March 2018, the operations at RGIA suffered a heavy beating after the tyres of a Tirupati-Hyderabad Indigo aircraft exploded at the landing.
