SVPI airport fully functional after recarpeting work
The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport in Ahmedabad managed by the Adani Group has completed the recarpeting work of its 3.5-kilometre-long runway thereby making the airport fully functional again.
From January 17 this year, the Ahmedabad airport has been shut for flights from 9 am to 6 pm every day due to the recarpeting work of its runway. As per norms of the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), all flights have been asked to operate daily within the 15 hours time span from 6 pm to 9 am.
According to the Adani group, post Covid-19 pandemic, the SVPI airport handled 200 flights every day which was reduced to 160 flights during the recarpeting work schedule.
