Hyderabad airport to be equipped with better visibility systems

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RIGA) will soon upgrade its infrastructure for improved low-visibility operations by the end of this year.

At present, RIGA is equipped with a CAT I Instrument Landing System (ILS), a precision radio navigation system that allows short-range guidance to aircraft to reach the runway at night or in bad weather with 550 metres of visibility. The new upgrade to CAT II ILS is underway and will enable aircraft to land in conditions with 350-metre visibility.
