New Delhi: Delhi airport operator DIAL is working with stakeholders to further improve runway occupancy time which will help in dealing with capacity constraints at the country's busiest aerodrome.
Generally, Runway Occupancy Time (ROT) is the time taken by a departing or arriving aircraft to turnoff from the runway.
An Airports Authority of India (AAI) official said the ROT at Delhi airport and other major aerodromes have improved.
Through the Flight Operations Performance Committee, the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) is working with Air Traffic Control and airlines to improve various vital operational parameters, including ROT.
