IndiGo flight lands on CAT IIIB compliant runway
Bengaluru International Airport, Bengaluru (BIAL) recorded its first landing under CAT IIIB conditions on the morning of Thursday.
Bengaluru: Bengaluru International Airport, Bengaluru (BIAL) recorded its first landing under CAT IIIB conditions on the morning of Thursday. Radiation fog set in during the early part of the day, resulting in a rapid drop in visibility to 200 metres. During this time, IndiGo flight 6E-6389 from Lucknow made a successful touchdown at 0741 hours.
The South Runway can facilitate aircraft landing with an RVR as low as 50 metres and take-offs at 125 metres. Before the upgrade, the permissible visual range was 550 metres and 300 metres, for landing and take-off, respectively. This upgrade by BIAL is expected to reduce disruption in operations and would immensely benefit passengers during inclement weather conditions.
