Bengaluru: Operation of flights on the new south parallel runway (NSPR), the second runway at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), will commence on December 5, 2019. Trial runs on the newly constructed runway were kicked off on Tuesday.
Indigo Airlines, SpiceJet and Air Asia India flights took part in the trial runs held on Tuesday.
The 4000-metres-long and 45-metres-wide runway, although it is equipped with CAT IIIB Instrument Landing System (ILS) which will enable flights to land even in dense fog and low visibility conditions, will initially begin operations with CAT I standard certification. It will progressively evolve to CAT III B as operations stabilize, said Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL)—operator of KIA. BIAL had earlier announced that the NSRP would become operational by October, this year.
"The new South Runway at the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (BLR Airport) nears operational readiness with the successful completion of validation flight on August 27, 2019. Operations on the new Runway are planned to commence on December 5, 2019. The validation flights were conducted to certify aerodrome navigational aids and instrument procedures as determined by Civil Aviation regulations. The Code F and Cat IIIB compliant runway, measuring 4000-metres in length and 45-metres in width, will begin operations – initially – with CAT I standard certification and will progressively evolve to CAT IIIB as operations stabilise. Following infrastructure and procedural improvements, the runways will eventually be used for independent mixed mode operations, allowing flights to take-off and land from either runway,” read the statement issued by BIAL, on Tuesday.
