DIAL completes refurbishing work on IGI Airport’s British-era runway

Delhi International Airport Limited has completed refurbishing work on the 09/27 runway at Indira Gandhi International Airport and handed over the facility to ATC for commercial operations late last month, which will help in reducing the runway operations time, a release said on Wednesday.

The newly rehabilitated runway, which was constructed during the British period, complies with Category-I (CAT-I) Instrument Landing System (ILS), which assists pilots during landing an aircraft in low visibility conditions, it said.

DIAL undertook the rehabilitation work of runway 09/27 (first runway) as part of Delhi Airport’s phase 3A expansion project.
