IGI airport gets new fleet of fire-tenders
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: A fleet of new state-of-the-art aircraft crash fire tenders has been commissioned at Indira Gandhi International Airport here in addition to the existing fleet of aircraft rescue and fire-fighting vehicles.
The Delhi International Airport (Private) Limited (DIAL) has inducted these vehicles manufactured by Rosenbauer International AG of Austria. This will boost the airport’s capability to respond to any aircraft or fire-related exigency. “Fitted with an ultra-powerful engine, these vehicles can quickly access any part of the airfield while responding to emergencies. Their most unique feature is the ‘low visibility enhanced vision’ system that is guided by a forward-looking infra-red camera mounted on the cabin roof.
According to officials, the system allows the driver to navigate the airport in poor visibility conditions by only looking at the screen displaying a thermal image of the surroundings that allows them to proceed even in zero visibility conditions.
