IndiGo runs 1st trial flight using GAGAN satellite tech

The trials were carried out in the presence of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) officials at Kishangarh Airport near Ajmer with an ATR72 aircraft.

The system, known as GAGAN, has been jointly developed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Indian Space Research Organisation. With the help of reference and uplink stations, GAGAN provides corrections to the global positioning system signal to improve air traffic management.

While the project was unveiled for aviation use by then civil aviation minister Pusapati Ashok Gajapathi Raju in 2015, it remained a non-starter until now.
