Second ILS Calibrated at North Runway of KIA

In a significant step towards ensuring that both arrivals and departures of aircraft can take place at the north runway of the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), the second Instrument Landing System (ILS) has been installed and calibrated successfully by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

For the last five months, only departures have been taking place on the runway to facilitate the installation of these systems. ILS provides both lateral and vertical guidance to pilots during landing. It is particularly useful in poor visibility conditions, which is a regular annual feature during winters at KIA.
