Sindhudurg Airport Wins DGCA Clearance for 24x7 All-Weather Operations

Instrument procedures with a backup navigation aid enable reliable low-visibility flights.

Overview

  • IRB Infrastructure said the approval covers IFR operations, letting aircraft land and take off during poor visibility or adverse weather.
  • Published satellite-based RNP approaches are now in place with a non-satellite backup, which the operator says will improve safety and consistency.
  • The airport recorded nearly 11,000 passenger movements in December, a monthly high highlighted by the operator.
  • Parking capacity has been expanded as stands increased from three to six to handle rising traffic.
  • IRB’s Capt. Jai S. Sadana said a MumbaiSindhudurg route under the regional connectivity scheme is expected to launch in the coming months, supporting tourism in the Konkan belt and South Goa.
