Noida International Airport (NIA) successfully conducted a full-scale aircraft turnaround trial on 9th June 2026 as part of its Operational Readiness, Activation and Transition (ORAT) programme, in collaboration with IndiGo and key airport partners.
The trial simulated a complete aircraft turnaround on the airside, testing the end-to-end coordination of systems, processes and stakeholders. The exercise included the use and validation of critical infrastructure such as Visual Docking Guidance Systems (VDGS), Passenger Boarding Bridges, Ground Power, as well as integrated baggage handling and cargo processes. In-flight catering and other ground handling activities were also tested, with refuelling scenarios evaluated as part of the operational preparedness framework. As a part of the trial, re-validation of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach procedures was conducted.
The turnaround trial forms part of a series of advanced ORAT exercises designed to ensure seamless coordination across all operational interfaces ahead of the commencement of commercial operations on 15th June 2026.
