GHIAL receives approval from DGCA to upgrade secondary runway status
Hyderabad:GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) has upgraded its main runway with a new landing system. This new Category II Instrument Landing System (ILS) and improved runway lighting allow airplanes to land safely even when visibility is very low, down to 300 meters. This upgrade is especially helpful during fog or other bad weather conditions, said the GHIAL in a press release on Monday.
GHIAL has also received approval from the DGCA to upgrade its secondary runway to Category I. This means that during any problems on the main runway, the secondary runway can be used when visibility is as low as 550 meters.
“Implementation of these advanced navigational systems elevates our operational parameters while ensuring adherence to the highest safety standards in aviation operations. These changes will reduce delays and keep passengers safe during bad weather, thereby reducing inconvenience for passengers,” said GHIAL CEO Pradeep Panicker.
