New system to manage air traffic launched will save Rs 1680 crore every year
NEW DELHI: At a time when flight delays at Indian airports have become endemic and passengers troubled regularly by long waits to take off and land, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on R-Day launched its "central - air traffic flow management (C-ATFM)" to cut flight delays. Airlines say Mumbai has become a "black spot" for flight delays due to air traffic congestion, followed by other busy airports like Delhi.
AAI chairman Guruprasad Mohapatra, who opened the dedicated C-ATFM facility at Delhi's new air traffic services complex on Thursday, said the authority is implementing this system at all major airports and then the entire Indian airspace.
"The C-ATFM system is primarily meant to address the balancing of capacity against the demand to achieve optimum utilization of the major resources like airports, airspace and aircraft at every Indian airport where there is a capacity constraint. ATFM Service relies on a number of supporting systems, processes and operational data which are already in place, for efficient management of air traffic flow across the country," said an official.
