DGCA directs airport operators to compulsorily conduct periodic checks of runway surface
New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA on Tuesday directed all airport operators to carry out compulsory periodic inspection of runway surface.
The directive also comes against the backdrop of multiple incidents in recent months wherein planes overshot runways and many of them happened in wet conditions during rainfall.
A senior official told that airport operators have to mandatorily conduct “periodic friction test and rubber removal” to ensure that runways are in proper condition.
