The Director of LGBI airport assigned by Airport Authority of India said the airport is running to its “full capacity” and is mulling on “big plans” along with the Central Civil Aviation ministry for renovation.
“We are functioning at our best with whatever resources we have got,” Brijesh Tailong, Director of the airport said. He said the airport has had several upgrades over the time based on the current infrastructure.
“A new state-of-the-art monitoring centre has been set up in the airport and now, the airport which only served till 8 pm, runs till 10 pm. We have installed advanced radar system very recently. The air traffic has also increased. Three hangars that can park big aircrafts have also been set up in the airport and the construction of another is on the cards. Besides, the repair of the runway is also going on,” Tailong said.
He added, “It is developing with time, but there are a few minor laggings from our side also. Those can be set straightened out with the help of the ministry when the project Aero City will be rolled out.”
