To eliminate fog & low visibility-related flight delays, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has approved special Visual Flight Rules (VFR) for flights operating to and from Gondia Airport in Maharashtra.
Special VFR operations refer to operating in weather conditions where the visibility is less than the minimum visibility criteria for VFR operations i.e. 5,000 meters. InterGlobe Aviation Limited (Indigo) has received the approval for its ATR 72-600 type of aircraft for special VFR operations to and from the Gondia airport.
