BIAL landing trials likely in February

BANGALORE: The first trials of landing and take-off of aircraft at Bangalore International Airport Ltd. (BIAL) at Devanahalli are likely to commence in February.

Trial runs of other facilities will begin from January 15.

BIAL Chief Executive Officer Albert Brunner told presspersons here, “Once radar and air traffic control are installed, trial runs will commence. However, we are trying out trials of individual equipment before synchronising all operations.” He said that BIAL had submitted the operation manual to the Director General of Civil Aviation. The operation manual was being reviewed at present. “Physically, the runway is ready,” he added.
