India looking to accommodate more aircraft in its airspace

New Delhi: Seeking full utilisation of the Indian airspace, civil aviation authorities are in the process of training pilots and ATC personnel and introducing advanced technology to gradually reduce air distance between two aircraft from 50 nautical miles to 15.
To achieve this end, new rules and regulations would be put in place to ensure that all aircraft are fitted with the required equipment to ensure reduction in required navigation performance (RNP), Director General of Civil Aviation Kanu Gohain said at a conference on aviation safety and security here.
He said the height separation would also be reduced from the present 2,000 to 1,000 feet and added that the safety systems were working satisfactorily.
