Top air safety official warns Delhi airport unsafe
NEW DELHI: A senior official of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has alerted the Prime Minister’s Office to the dangerous safety conditions of major Indian airports. S Mangala, Aviation Safety, Deputy General Manager, Mumbai, has red-flagged Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai airports.
The Sunday Standard had reported that Mangala had recommended the partial closure of runway of Mumbai airport citing safety in October 2016.
But civil aviation bureaucrats and other officials had put a lid on it. She had pointed out that encroachment of airspace by buildings around the airports is a ‘cancer’ spreading across Indian airports. “I am filing this report based on the documents I could get and the real condition of aviation safety could be far worse than what I have reported in this Safety Report.
