The Indian Air Force/Central government on Monday submitted through an affidavit before the Punjab and Haryana High Court that ILS (Instrument Landing System) for Runway 29 at Air Force Station Chandigarh was now CAT-II compliant.
With the CAT-2 ILS system, aircraft will be able to land at the airport even when the visibility is between 350 and 800 metres.
The HC is hearing a 2015 Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Mohali Industries Association on making Chandigarh International Airport fully functional by removing all infrastructure-related deficiencies.
