‘Uncontrolled’ Baramati airport lacks basic navigation facilities, fire tender

MUMBAI: It may be the bastion of one of India’s most powerful political families.

- Yogesh Naik

But, the airport in Maharashtra’s Baramati town, where a Learjet 45 carrying Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and four others crashed on Wednesday morning, lacked basic navigation aids and a fire tender, and had an air traffic control run by pilot cadets from two local flying schools.

Indian airports are catego-rised under four buckets. Category A airports are uncontrolled, where no air traffic control service is provided; Baramati falls under this category. Category B airports are partially controlled, with limited ATC or AFIS services, such as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and Jalgaon. Category C airports are controlled airports operating with procedural ATC, where aircraft are separated using procedures rather than radar, such as Pune. Category D airports are fully controlled airports with radar-based ATC, including major hubs like Mumbai and Delhi.
