Indore: For better, safe and secure landing of flights, Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport, Indore, is set to replace old instrumental landing system (ILS) with a new one. Re-carpeting the runway is also on the cards.
Airport director Manoj Chansoria said, "ILS is an important instrument as it helps aircrafts during landing. Its key features tell whether the aircraft is aligned and maintaining a proper slope." Chansoria added, "Currently we have an old system, which was installed in 1994. With technological advancements, replacement is need of the hour. Tendering process has begun and we hope to replace the system by January next year." Along with this, glide path at runway will be upgraded. "ILS and glide path help reduce chance of errors, mostly when visibility is low," said Chansoria. The new system will cost around Rs 1.34 crore while the electrification work will be done for Rs 3 lakh.
