Advisory committee, Srinagar International Airport, has stressed for upgrading the infrastructure at the aerodrome to ensure better disaster preparedness.
The committee in its recent meeting at the airport premises— first since 2018—discussed among other issues the need for a heavy crane at the airport for moving disabled aircrafts if any.
AAC chairman Dr Farooq Abdullah chaired the meeting in the capacity of Member of Parliament from Srinagar constituency.
The meeting was informed that there was no heavy crane available at the airport and a 100 tonne crane was required so that in case there was an aircraft tyre burst or any other emergency, the disabled aircrafts can be moved.
